Comparison Matrix

Platform Arbitrage — DoorDash vs Uber

Two gig platforms, same driver, same shift length — different mileage profiles. Delivery routes typically rack up more miles per dollar than urban rideshare; rideshare typically pays more per hour but with denser city wear. The delta bar shows which one actually nets more after the IRS mileage rate (which captures gas + depreciation + maintenance).

Operating cost = miles × $0.67 (2024 IRS standard mileage rate, capturing gas + maintenance + depreciation). Real hourly = (gross − operating cost) ÷ hours. The IRS rate is conservative for high-mileage vehicles but represents long-run true cost — not just gas. Gas price is shown for sanity-check only; it is already inside the IRS figure.

What this matrix surfaces

The IRS standard mileage rate ($0.67/mile in 2024) is the rough proxy for the true cost of a gig mile — gas plus maintenance plus depreciation. A platform that pays $40/hour but burns 100 miles per shift is paying about $0.40/mile in pure gas, but trading $67 of asset wear for every 100 miles. Rideshare in a dense urban core often beats delivery on real hourly even when nominal pay looks similar.

Adjust either column with your own real numbers from a recent week. Most drivers are surprised how the rankings flip when miles are honestly counted.
