When gas prices were at $4 per gallon the IRS raised the estamated cost per mile to drive tax write off figure from around $.45 per mile to $.52 per mile, last time I checked it was down to $.50 per mile, now the IRS doesn't like to give people a chance to keep their money unless it's well founded and when I've added up my cost to drive a civic vx that cost me $1,200 while doing all of the repairs my self it still came out to around $.26 per mile to drive my car and out of that $.06 per mile is fuel.
People will whine and cry about how they can't afford gas and I realize that everyone on this form is trying to save as much fuel as possible but when you look at all the numbers you realize that most people can't afford to drive as much as they do no matter what the fuel price is.
