They don't always cost more than CD singles. It is only new/import releases that are more expensive.
Here in the UK, a vinyl on import from say, Holland or Germany will cost about £6.50. Compare that to the same CD - Oh no, sorry, you can't, because it isn't available on a CD. And If it was, it would be just as expensive because it is on import.
However, if the song gets a full UK release, then it costs the same as the equivalent CD single.
Try it out: go to www.juno.co.uk and have a look at the prices. If there is the name of a country after the name of the label, that means it is an import and will be more expensive, around £6.50 for Europe to about £8 for America. If it doesn't say a country, or says UK, it will be cheaper, around £4.
Try it out at www.hmv.co.uk as well, where you will be able to see that songs with a full UK release cost the same whether on vinyl or CD.
