Perhaps this is nothing new, but it does again point up that the value of a mile is in the eye (or pocketbook) of the beholder.

AAbsolutely!
It certainly backs up my personal feelings about using the miles to UG to obtain maximum value for sure.
And while 10 cents per mile does appear to be steep to many, perhaps even including me, indeed, the value of a mile is surely in the eye/pocketbook of the beholder.
Thanks very much for the fine story, Counseller.
