Um… the author of that article admitted he misread the figures and exaggerated the amount spent on highways by 1200%. I really don’t think that deductions for work vehicles comes anywhere near the amount spent directly on mass transit. Besides which, the majority of drivers in this country do not drive a company car… sorry.
