It depends on the context....
Your boss says you can stay a little late. He will pay you extra money. You agree. He expects to give you money for one hour. He is happy to pay you . However, you stay an extra five hours. He is not happy. This is too much extra money. He says in a sarcastic way, wow, you really went the extra mile. Don't do that again. This extra mile is excessive and bad.
You see a stranger on the road side. Their car is broken. You offer to have it towed. You pay the tow truck. You give them a ride to a restaurant. You pay for their meal. Wow, they say. You really went the extra mile! This is excessive as well, but, they are happy about it.

@ravens_veil, does "extra" in this case mean just "additional" or "excessive and unnecessary"?
