<human>: So as of last week we (myself and 2 others) were notified that the company is taking away our company vehicles which we drive m-f for work purposes and they are to become pool cars for the office.

These cars were given to us as part of our compensation for our job which was traveling sales 100% of the time. As of January there was a layoff of around 30 people due to market conditions and as an alternative to being laid off we were given a new position which requires 30% travel. Now I must travel 45 miles a day which comes out to 225 miles a week on my personal vehicle. So by using the IRS figure of .575 per mile is it correct to assume a total figure of $129.375 divided out by 40 hrs per work week that I would be taking a pay cut of $3.23 per hour?

If so is there a good approach for asking for better compensation for my work and efforts?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Company is taking my work car and now I am making less money as a result and would like to know if it's worth asking for more money.
