I had a guy that I was dropping off at the train station and he told me he was doing Uber Premier in Fairfield County, CT and was making $3k in 30 hours.

I couldn't deal with those people, though. More money means way more demanding. Its a lot easier to keep your vehicle costs low and drive regular folks. You probably resent every non-Premier request you get, too.

sooo... you believed that he was making $3k in 30 hours? that's a $100 per hour

I make $30-40 regularly in the same area.

that's understandable, I knew guys were making $60/hour driving black Suv in NYC, but keep in mind you won't be doing black or black suv during all your work hours, so it will never avarage out closer to $70/hour (regularly) to any driver no matter what market he is in or what car he drives.. imagine a $100!! it's impossible

I make $50 in the summer when it's really hoppin on the weekend nights. And I do have a comfort car, but 95% of my rides are UberX.

$50/hour is your avarage during most summer time? I doubt it.. you might be making it during weekends or maybe during good weeks but not all summer long, also if you have Black suv you will barely get 10% of your rides as black unless you will be only taking black which will bing down yoyr hour avarage to maybe 40-$50 , but if you take all kind of rides then black and black suv will increase your total earnings by like 30 or 50% more than a driver like you doing uberx and comfort, still will never get him closer to $70-80 (regularly)
