MeFi thread which has some good points about:
A Median driver generates $0.59 per mile of driving, and incurs costs of $0.30 per mile.
which seems like it's drastically under-valuing the actual cost of operating the automobile, and the true cost is unlikely to be less than $.50/mile and probably closer to at least $.60, and the externalities of automobiles, including traffic-related mortalities.

Great quote from that MeFi thread:
