I'm doing a 6,000-mile transcon same day turn next month for $160 r/t ai. That is a good value.
Exactly

No matter what, most of us have to consider parking, tolls, maybe lodging.

Some don't though, some find ways around that stuff but in the end apples to apples is the a/i cost of the flight and then breaking it down to cpm
Some of us find free parking, use mass transit, pack a meal, sleep in the airport, shower at the gym, etc. to get around certain expenses
