You could also record this information as properties. E.g.,
,----
| * Meetings
| :PROPERTIES:
| :COLUMNS: %30ITEM %CLOCKSUM %10distance{+} %10expenses{$}
| :END:
| ** Meeting One
| :LOGBOOK:
| CLOCK: [2009-04-06 Mon 13:25]--[2009-04-06 Mon 14:37] => 1:12
| :END:
| :PROPERTIES:
| :distance: 15
| :expenses: 13.45
| :END:
|
| ** Meeting Two
| :LOGBOOK:
| CLOCK: [2009-04-06 Mon 16:41]--[2009-04-06 Mon 18:41] => 2:00
| :END:
| :PROPERTIES:
| :distance: 28
| :expenses: 22.31
| :END:

If you add a column line (as in the example above) you can use column
view (C-c C-x C-c) to get a nice overview with everything summed up in the top
heading. Or you could capture the data in a table (C-x C-c i). E.g.,
,----
| ** Summary
| #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local
| | ITEM | CLOCKSUM | distance | expenses |
| |----------------+----------+----------+----------|
| | * Meetings | 3:12 | 43 | 35.76 |
| | ** Meeting One | 1:12 | 15 | 13.45 |
| | ** Meeting Two | 2:00 | 28 | 22.31 |
| #+END:

The manual has a lot of great info on setting properties.
