Avis Uber rental

I'm currently renting one from Avis. On the app it doesn't indicate it but they do have gas vehicles. The only problem is the initial hold on my credit card is about 40 dollars more because I reserved an electric vehicle since that's all the app had available. Once they cash you out at the end of the week they charge the right amount. I'm in Los Angeles.
 
How many hours a week do you have to drive to turn a profit with a rental car?
I'm driving a lot more than when I had my own car. Probably about 54 hours online and usually about 40 active. I'm not turning a profit. I've somehow adjusted to making enough to pay the bills. I'm surprised I'm even able to do that, going from 0 to 325 a week payment. My hybrid battery gave out and I don't have the money to replace it but even if I did I don't think I should at 400000 miles. Haven't tried buying another car because credit is in the toilet. I was thinking of giving it a shot and show dealer if I can pay 1300 a month I can easily pay the payment of a used car even a a higher interest rate.
