> That appears not to be the case and there are numerous counter examples that disprove it. My point was that the existence of said counterexamples doesn't prove anything very strong, only that clearly Uber isn't only stealing from people who don't understand depreciation, etc. In order to actually understand what is going on, you'd need to have a broad survey (and yes, that should include people like your hypothetical). It would look something like a uniform sampling over drives (not trips) as a starting place. Average length doesn't prove anything, but it should be clear that I wasn't suggesting it did.
