So the EPA uses

2018-02-07 03:35:12.117658+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So the EPA uses $7.4M in 2006 dollars as the statistical value of a life. CPI says that's $9.2M today. 1.18 deaths/100M vehicle miles. So direct fatalities are just under $.11/mi external cost of automobile travel. (Pollution deaths are more)
