Traffic is slow there though. The Prius is not going to get 50 mpg in taxi use either. Uber XL does pay .3-.8 per mile more as well so if you did do 30,000 miles all XL you would make at least $9000 more in fares if not $24,000 while all of the added fuel costs would be deductible.

As I said earlier, the guy I know at work did 75K a year driving full time. It is certainly possible.

You only get Uber XL pay when the customer requests a XL ride.
