I'm trying to wrap my head around the thought process behind the reduction in milage paid for PCS moves. So regular TDY Soldiers are getting paid $0.53 a mile, however as of 1 Jan Soldiers are now only getting $0.23 a mile for PCS per vehicle. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this besides were broke? Gas prices sure haven't dropped enough to justify it. This will not even cover the cost of fuel for my move. Thoughts?

"If" You are getting 18mpg, that is $4.18 per gallon (highway). If you are getting 15, that's $3.45. It's hard to say it doesn't justify gas cost, for the POV. Now for the larger trucks, sure, but for a POV, you need to be below 13mpg and higher than $3.00 per gallon for the equation for the gas portion to not work out.

They account for that with the DITY calculations, with pre/post weight movements. Mileage is a different set of calculations.

How is that when it is already reduced to 95% of what they would pay a moving company. Either way what's the difference between TDY driving and PCS driving? Feels the same to me.
