I don't know the addresses you're looking at, but it's about $20 from Mill Rd in Alexandria to DCA (I've taken the route a ton of times), which is a much shorter distance than to NE D.C. I don't know if $71 is entirely accurate, but it's definitely more than you're quoting. EDIT: Just quoted it. It's about $42 in light traffic, about $69 in heavy traffic (from the hotel I stay in Alexandria to an address on Oglethorpe St in NE D.C.). So they're providing the worst possible fare, whereas they should probably provide the median.
