AAA cites 59¢/mile for an average sedan [1], further they cite the costs for average private insurance, which is inappropriate for running a commercial operation with uber/lyft.

Adding hundreds of pounds of passenger weight for a shared ride will yield below average MPG on a typical car, making expenses above average.
