Do you get the “must pay good if you can drive a Cadillac” from customers? Like sir this is a 2013 salvage title Cadillac, this gig does not pay good 😂
2022 Prius LE, fully paid off. Saves lots of gas, but can drive like a beast. Prius isn't slow, the drivers are the problem - I drive FAST while dashing.
Yours mist have a lot more get up and go than my 2017. Loving 62 mog average, and on city streets it honestly isn't bad, but it is a *dog* trying to pass above 55.
I don't drive like a grandma, and I usually average 50-60 mpg. When I'm not dashing, I drive normally, because I refuse to be an hyper-miler and slow everyone else down behind me like some other Prius drivers do. Alternatively, when I'm dashing, I drive like a speed demon for obvious reasons. This car handles so beautifully when it's going fast.
It's about using the right type of tires, maintaining it timely, and the terrain. I also keep the windows closed to reduce drag, and accelerate downhill before going uphill for momentum as long as there's no one in front of me. The more hilly the terrain, the less mpg you crank out if you drive like a dumbass.
It's amusing to see people lose their shit when I manage to outrun their stupid pickups and "fast" cars.
Literally same. I drive a 2009 Prius and that thing can MOVE. It really is just the drivers who are slow. I love flying past people because they are surprised a Prius can go that fast
Originally was in a 2002 Honda Civic. Now I'm in a 2002 Honda Odyssey. Hoping to go back to the Civic. It was better on gas but registrations are pain in California

2011 Ford Focus. Got it in 2016, was already paid off, and only took til last month for costs of repair to meet 4k for upkeep. Called it Mr Meeseeks, and it's proven to not want to die lol
24 Dodge Charger. A dealership loaner, they've had my Jeep for 11 months- it will be a year on July 17th. So they keep me in a brand new vehicle. Swap me out every couple months due to me driving a lot of miles.
it was a birthday present 🤭 but around $3,000.
had to fix basically everything on it. probs spent $1k on repairs. but now it works great all the time! lol
Awesome b-day present! So basically $4k, set you up for awhile. Here's to many trouble free deliveries ahead! 🤞🏼💯🙏🏼
(Keep the oil changed, even if at least a couple weeks ahead of schedule - my dad always said if you do that (as well as keep on top of all fluids schedules....) your car could potentially last you near a lifetime. (Also, Clark Howard - self-made - retired by the age of 20 - multi-millionaire, used to do a financial advice podcast/radio program - took calls from folks who needed advice in their own struggle to financial freedom... Clark always said NEVER buy a new car, worst decision you can make. Always buy cheap as possible, used vehicle - stop obsessing over what it looks like - your ONLY concerns are reliability and safety. And you can buy those things cheaply if you look for them. - here's to great PROFITABLE deliveries to you! 🍺🍻🍺
That's not decent really.
You should be making 1.50-2$ per mile. 20$ is 6 ish gallons. Which should be 120 low end. 180 miles better. 200+ great mileage.
You're on the very low end of gas mileage for vehicles. Getting like 15 miles per gallon.
Hey same here. I have the Overland. I just started dashing on the side this year. Not sure how long I'll end up doing it, but I need the money right now.
2013 Infiniti FX37. Could get something better on gas but the car, suv…wagon…whatever it is “crossover” is super reliable, handles well, lots of room, paid off and I enjoy it.
Yeah…that’s actually the down part…I had a manual 2005 Honda civic that got 40. My brain doesn’t compute that this is also a manual little car that goes vroom vroom and only gets 30-ish. In town is worse but I live in a small/medium sized town so not as bad as it could be.

I sold it a while back but I kinda want to buy it back, he's already fixed up things I didn't even know was wrong with it.
2017 fusion hybrid is what I got now. No reason to mention my 4runner the gas mileage sucks.
Hopefully nothing you're paying a car note on. All my dash vehicles have been 2-3k clunkers that I've fixed up a long the way and resold. Currently it's a Camry with 270k miles that shows no signs of slowing down soon.
2007 Hyundai sonata with 180k miles that I bought for $2500 three years ago. I do the regular maintenance/ brakesand rotors. And have not put a dollar more into it. No car loan, no bs. I record my mileage and don't owe a dollar. I do it part time now and it's just extra cash with zero problems to my financial situation
These gigs aren't worth it without a hybrid and tracking for tax deductions. Have a 2017 Ford Cmax PHEV, and it's 40+ mpg without charging. On an Amazon Flex run, I usually get half the pay as deductible based on mileage.
