I am in the Denver area and i'm curious about the possibility of acheiving the uber quest.

Is 30 rides per day possible in the Denver market? I was wondering if the 90 rides between Monday-Thursday is possible and if so what hours times might be needed to acheive that in the Denver market?

Thanks be safe all
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think 30 trips in a day is way too much. It's not like we're using company vehicles here. We pay for our own fuel and maintenance.
 
To save me from redundancy of writing out the information of all the numbers below let's assume my car Lincoln MKZ hybrid, 34 miles per gallon, assume each trip is an average of $4.29, and we're going to do 90 trips, each trip with an average of 6 miles to complete at $4.00 per gallon over the 3-day weekend,

90 trips x 6 miles 540 miles = $63.53 Gas
90 trips x $4.29 = $386.10 earnings
90 trips quest $$180
Quest + earnings = $566.10 - $63.53
Total earnings = $502.57

Yeah I know here it comes your car cost you
$0.65 per mile to move it
540 miles x $0.65 = $351 cost
so the true earnings is only $566.10 - $351 = $215.10

But wait, there's more. How many times do you start and stop your engine to make those 90 trips? How much wear do you put on your tires?
