I just don't see how you get that marginal cost down to $0.20, yes mile n+1 is a little bit cheaper than mile n. and sure, let's pretend that high milage cars used cars sell for the same as low milage cars. so financing is fixed. I just don't see how you can get regular maintenance and gas and insurance down to 20c/mile.
- rm999 9y agoYou're looking at average cost, which includes half-ton pickups and large SUVs. Look at page 6, which contains small and medium sedans.
- jfoutz 9y agoAh, i see. I misunderstood your argument. I thought you meant something like "an average person want to pick up some uber shifts. they already have the car, so the expense can't be that much." I'd assumed an average person would have an average car, and thus average cpm. you mean (i think) someone needs a car for whatever reason. They specifically select a car they can use with uber, maximum mpg, least maintenance, and used. That might work. i'm still (very) skeptical of the $0.20/mi cost. But i could see you might be able to get that quoted $0.37 down to $0.32 or if you're really lucky, $0.30
