I wouldn't be over awed at fuel being reimbursed at $3.00 per gallon.
I went to do hours building in San Diego earlier this year when AVGAS was about $5.25 a gallon. I had it away uplifts reimbursed to me at $4.75, so $3.00 is going to set you back quite a bit.
I'd be more inclined to look for somwhere with better reimbursements than that.
