Hi Ben hows the good fight going
-
checking how far the range left would be so much of a distraction, I like to start work and not stop to refuel on the job at the rate I work I go for days on end without refueling. At least I know a full tank of LPG will cover 500 to 600 km and the half tank of petrol gives me another 300km if i need it. Mind you the Camry Hybrid did cover 850km on a full tank. Cost wise the Camry tyres didn't stand up to much in the way of rougth roads where as the bigger car takes every thing in its stride.

I did operate a Toyota Camry Hyrbid for a while, it was a great car to drive but the boot space was a big let down especially on airport transfers, Have found the bigger cars bring in more quality work and are actually cheaper in the long run to operate.
-
Last week when I was overcharged for fuel I took a look at several Nissan Leafs and the let down was the range, dealers where very cagey over the range but it varied between 160 to 180 Km, That to much of a risk factor, plus they are small as and look silly as.

Ben that was work related Km, the costs are every thing including taxs and depreciation. This year I expect my running costs to come down even more due to a LPG converstion and less depreciation.

I put value on my time not like Uber whom think their drivers do not have value. I think the minium an driver should earn after expenses should be $20.00 to $25.00 per hour. The bulk on my work is within day light hours, but in years gone by I did work night shift to support a growing family
-
but i only worked 20 hr aweek and I do a lot of private hire work, like weddings, sightseeing etc whick does have a high hourly rate, I only work when I have work and this is where experience comes in. I do spend a lot of time keeping my cars looking good
-
Just looked up last years figures, Total Km for year 24,499, take per Km = $4.58, costs per Km = $1.40. Hours of work not on this record but would have been an average of 20hrs per week.
-
its all to do with experience and good record keeping. I will take a look at my records for the past two months and put up the main figures, By the way I am a taxi driver/private hire opterator and have been since Jesus played half back for the Jews lol

have the Uber drivers given up the fight with Uber
