The $.50 per mile is egregiously high, and he doesn’t mention where it comes from. If you make it $.25 or $.30/mile the numbers work out much better. Still not super high pay, but livable. Not to mention the fact that he’s measuring the most efficient part of a job that an Uber driver could calculate - a suburb in the middle of the day.

- ghaff 9y agoThere are both fixed and variable costs (in addition to fuel costs) in operating a car. I expect the IRS number surprises a lot of people but I doubt the IRS is in the business of passing out free money to people who drive a lot for business at tax time. People can reduce their own average cost with inexpensive, low MPG, older vehicles although this is somewhat limited by Uber rules/preferences. Cars cost more to operate per mile than a lot of people think they do. I expect if there were a meter in personal cars, people would drive a lot less.
