It's true that the tax deductions for mileage don't begin to cover wear/tear and maintenance. Owning a vehicle is expensive.

I remember when it was $0.32/mile! Since I don't have a car, I ride my bike a lot. I ride so much, the cost of ownership of a bike has actually become apparent! I'm not complaining. It's still only a fraction of the cost of driving. The IRS gives us a standard $0.585 per mile deduction, but that’s still only part of the total cost of driving. I remember when it was $0.32/mile!
