Mileage Run - Acceptable EQM Cost

I'm looking at having to do at least 1 Mileage Run this year to keep my CO Platinum Status. What is considered a 'good' cost per EQM? I've been pricing out some trips and they all come out to about 9-10 cents/EQM. That includes all the taxes/fees.

I know that in the end, its really whats acceptable to me as a cost justification, but was wondering what other people consider as an acceptable cost. In a search of the forum, the last time I could find this topic was back in 08 timeframe and about .05/eqm was listed as 'good', but I also know that airfares have gone up a bit since then. At least I know that my business travel costs have gone up significantly since then.

TIA
