You completely ignored all the other costs of owning a car: insurance, parking, maintenance.

You're paying much, much more than $0.35/mile my friend.

How do you know? Perhaps he has an old car that he maintains himself, parks in free lots, and only carries liability coverage so insurance is cheaper.

[antisthenes]

No, I didn't. That's an all-in cost of ownership (it's a cheap Kia, so the costs are obviously going to vary)

[interdocken]

in fact the IRS says it costs about 20 cents/mile more
