The maintenance, insurance and depreciation cost of driving Uber an unlimited miles a week is $214 a week, minus a profit margin for a company like Hertz: https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/misc/index.jsp?targetPage=Ube...

So any study that says it is more expensive than that to drive for Uber is wrong.

That doesn't seem inconsistent with a 30 cents per mile figure. If someone drives 1,000 miles over the course of a week (which is the minimum rental), that's about 20 cents a mile for the car and about 10 cents a mile for gas. You can quibble with the details but would seem to be in the right ballpark.
