actual mileage costs include lots of hidden stuff like general maintenance, wear+tear, insurance differential, and even depreciation (depending on how you look at it)... this ties in with "noname's" comment below...
(for the Americans, pardon the Metric, but) I have a friend who commutes about 20km each way, so 40km/day, or 200km/wk. With gas around $1/L (I just paid $1.25 for premium last night, regular was $1.12), assuming he gets 10L/100km, that's $20/wk. He actually figures it's well over $0.20/km factoring all the hidden costs... but, he rarely drives. He bikes year round. So he can use the savings from that potential mileage cost to justify some pretty darn nice bikes! That said, the Cervelo get's put away for the winter + replaced with an older singlespeed conversion with studded tires...
I'm not that crazy (or suggesting others should necessarily be either), but it is one way to keep in shape!
