Multiply your monthly mileage by the IRS business mileage rate (67 cents per mile for 2024) to get a ballpark sense of average monthly vehicle expenses. The average American drives around 1,2000 miles per year, so consider how close you are to that average and whether your location is more expensive than average.

In short, yes the employer can. In California all employment is considered to be on an at will basis unless there is an agreement to the contrary about that status between the employee and employer.

It depends on your employment contract. If you signed an agreement to use your personal vehicle for work-related tasks, refusing to do so could be a breach of contract. However, if your contract does not require using your personal vehicle, you might have more room to refuse.
