15 cents a mile? That's practically free! Only 15 bucks for a hundred miles.

This does not even include the cost of your car nor the gas you put in it, which already has hefty road taxes.
It would be cheaper to fly, literally.

Definitely not the Pennsylvania Turnpike...
Probably a poorly written article. From prior articles, the 15 cents per mile figure is actually an agreed maximum rate that could be charged (perhaps subject to renegotiation), but of course if demand doesn't support that it would be lowered to whatever the market will support. Then as demand increases the price would, too.
As to being cheaper to fly, not when you add in the costs of a rent-a-car and the gas used at your destination city.
