So, I pretty much drive for a living. Pushing 1,000 miles a week. Corporate pays me std govt. mileage rate $0.655/mile. I can rent a car for $42/day + gas. Total weekly cost of $210 + $100 for gas = $310. $655 - $310 = $345/week net tax-free $$ for me. Am I missing something? I, almost, feel bad.....

I wouldnt own if I could rent a car that cheap! A weekly rental here would cost you $1000 if you could get one

Look at potential tax implications. Can you right-off the entire rental amount? I'm pretty sure that with a lease you can right-off the entire lease amount annually.
I'm not sure what the current IRS mileage allowance is, but if your company is paying you more than the IRS allowance, the difference is most likely a taxable event.
