Traveling Expense?

I was curious as to how some of you handle travel expense. Traveling a distance is easy to figure out (plane fare, etc). I'm wondering about charging for travel when traveling by car. Obviously if you drive a half-hour there is no charge. How about an hour away, hour and a half, two hours etc? Where do you draw the line? Do you draw the line based on time, or by the number of miles from your studio? Do you charge a flat rate, or a per mile rate or a time-factored rate? Gee, can you tell that I am full of questions about this? The other day I had to drive an 1 1/2 hours to a clients house. I didn't charge for travel, but while I was driving back to my studio I started wondering if this is a distance that others charge extra for.

Suggestions anyone?
