Its a matter of being informed ahead of time that you may spend $3-4/gal
buying fuel remotely and only get $2-2.50 reimbursed based on this.

Is that a common practice? where I fly remote fuel reimbursement is
what you actually paid. You attach the fuel receipt to your statement
and simply deduct it from your bottom line price.

I just assumed that's how everyone does it. Of course our on-field FBO
is not the cheapest by any means either, so the club usually comes out
ahead on remote fueling.
