Yes, those costs are the same no matter how much you drive, but most people can put a number on how much they drive per year - and do it that way. if you drive 10k miles per year, and registration costs $50, then you spend 0.5 cents/mi on registration. This is good math because if you simply cannot drive without registration. (well, at least I'm not that libertarian yet =).
If you regularly fly or take the train, you can still average those costs on a per year or per month basis and divide them by mileage.
