Tax Question: How much is the IRS allowing for deductable mileage this year?

I have an accountant, but do a lot of preliminary work to save myself money. I make spreadsheets of my deductions. How much is the IRS allowing for deduction per mile this year? Last year I believe it was .48 cents per mile for deductable mileage. What is it this year?
