A name for something nobody bills you for
The Windshield Tax.
If your work is a list of addresses, part of your day is spent driving a route that could have been shorter. Nobody sends you an invoice for it. You pay it in your own fuel, and in the hour you get home late. This works out what yours comes to in a year.
Nothing to sign up for, and no email box. Move the sliders.
Door to door, including the drive out and the drive home.
Counted over 48 weeks, so four weeks a year off.
City driving, not the number on the window sticker.
Change it to what you actually paid this week.
Route optimisation usually takes 10–30% off the distance of a hand-ordered day. 20% is the middle, and it is the default here.

The arithmetic, in full
No part of this is hidden, because a number you cannot check is not worth sharing. With the sliders where you left them:
Driving hours use 28 mph as the average for residential
stop-and-go work with parking at each end — the figure our own routing
engine plans against. Fuel is the money that leaves your pocket; it does
not count tyres, servicing or what the mileage does to the value of the
car, so the real figure is higher than the one above.
This is an estimate you control, not a promise. It says what a fifth of
your driving is worth if a better order removes it. Whether it can be
removed depends on where your clients live and what times they are tied
to. Some days cannot be improved at all. That is honest, and it is why
the last slider is yours to move.
We are building the thing that takes it back.
Obillions is a voice agent for a day of visits. You say what changed and the day re-plans itself: the order, the drive times, and who nearby could take the hour a cancellation just freed. Nothing changes until you confirm, and your voice and photos never leave your phone.
In private testing now. A public TestFlight comes next, then the App Store. The Windshield Tax is the first of several things we are naming and then fixing.
