The number is a bit deceiving. As the article states, that amount is after you account for insurance, gas, wear/tear on the vehicle, maintenance, etc... So real

The number is a bit deceiving. As the article states, that amount is after you account for insurance, gas, wear/tear on the vehicle, maintenance, etc... So really the $3.37 is their "profit" before taxes are taken out. I am actually surprised it is that high. A driver working full-time in a city or area with high demand will put depreciate the value of their vehicle and drive costs up at a much higher rate than the average person.
