Hmmm, this is interesting. Because we know that the Federal Excise Tax on miles is 7.5%, since we know how much tax MCI pays for 1,000 miles, we can now figure out how much they pay for 1,000 miles!
$.916 divided by .075 = $12.21 per 1,000 miles! That's actually higher than I would have expected at 1.22 cents per mile.
