This is great work! Most comments here are always going to go negative on the data he collects. "This is not true! I own a 1981 VW diesel with 220,000 miles on it and the only thing I've had to fix...." Avoiding those ratholes for a moment I want to look at the other side. The Uber economics. Uber's pricing is based on the assumption that you're not using Uber as your full time car replacement. Put another way, I'm waiting for the Uber monthly subscription that gives me up to X miles per month for Y cost. If I commit to that many miles I'm pretty sure that can drive down the cost per mile in a meaningful way....say 20 - 30% vs the current "pay as you go on demand model" Lastly I think the first logical place to look is the 2 car family. You can shelve one and still have your own car for long family vacation trips or other immediate requirements while using Uber for that person that's got a pretty predictable 5 day a week commute etc.
