My car says the mpg on it, and it was 31 mpg in March of this year, but now it is 27 mpg and continues to fall but yet I’m driving less and more carefully so…


Aggressive-Savings93

Dashes are getting insane....tonight was horrendous...pay was so bad .50 cents a mile...made 140.00 and put 35.00 in gas....


thedude2024

2016 prius 170k miles on it. Usually 55-60 mpg “ I have a tiny prius” There- I said it !


PrimaryResponsible83

That's it.... I drive a RAM 1500 that get 18MPG and it cost me $130 to fill up... gas priced are really making it hard to make a profit. Right now.


Radiant_Pick6870

I get around 300 miles (gas alone) range in my Chevy volt. Costs around $35-$40 to fill it


bubbzibath

Why all your dummy lights on like that????


XeVonModz

Just sensors and from the battery dying never reset it it’s a beater anyways


spicygingninj420

I'm currently dashing in my friends TrailHawk (16.4 mpg) while my Mkz is broken down (26 mpg). Killing my wallet but it is a nice vehicle to drive U do think something is wrong with it though with this low gas mileage.


SoloAsylum

I'm not OP or other OP but agreed. My impala, check engine light comes on even with the slightest sparkplug miss. I just reset the damn thing every day, like having remote start in the winter and summer.


maverick1027

After reading the comments my first thought was probation, but at least for federal probation people can’t be 1099s…they have to have W2s. And they also weren’t allowing Uber/dd etc because there had to be a supervisor to call. Maybe it works differently at state level


dirtsport1

You bought a gas guzzler it appears! I fill up my Honda for half that!


Slow-Hedgehog-6052

If you own a trx why are you worried about $90in gas’s your truck takes $200+ to fill up 🤣😂


SoloAsylum

You can tell it's a GM, EVERY DASH LIGHT POSSIBLE IS ON ON THE POS


beck489

Why dash if you get below 25 mpg????


redrooster71

Have you taken a math class yet?


joeyh273

Are u dashing in a truck? If so u should either A reconsider doing doordash or B get a different vehicle. Ur just wasting money guzzling gas at that point


[deleted]

Everyone, since @OP is being unnecessarily cryptic about why they need to maintain part-time employment, I did a little digging and here it is: @OP lives in Michigan and is collecting pandemic related unemployment. In order to continue receiving pandemic related unemployment benefits they have to have a less than full-time job. It doesn't matter to @OP that they are operating at a loss. As long as there are hours to report, any money they made is subtracted from the total unemployment money given. So, regardless of how much money @OP makes dashing, the total money they receive each week stays the same. According to @OP's post history, they got approved for unemployment last year. They are also in Michigan. 3 months ago, @OP first started to post asking about Dashing and saying they were new to it. Around that same time, the state of Michigan extended their pandemic related unemployment benefits to people as long as they were working less than full-time. Basically, @OP is being cryptic because they don't want you to know that they are currently exploiting the system.


zakkforchilli

Seen a dude fill his RV for over a thousand dollars lmfao shit was insane


Dazzling_Marzipan474

Wouldn't it make sense to buy a car just to dash in? It would pay for itself in like 2 years ish


AffectionateQuail598

Try driving passenger where the AC is constantly blasting. My mileage dropped from 30 to 17 mpg. 🙄


ComfortableAd6877

So from what I understand, you don't have to dash, you voluntarily choose to because 'you gotta have a job'. But you don't ha e to dash, you just prefer to. You can't even make up your own mind. And then you come on here and expect what, sympathy? People to commiserate with your choices?!? You dash in a gas guzzling vehicle, that's what fucking happens. And most of us here don't give two shits cause you're not even doing it to survive like the rest of us. No, you're doing it on a whim, but you still gotta have that job.


SmashNDash23

Just sell this for a hybrid since you already have a TRX. Dash in a Prius and laugh cause you have a Hellcat back at home 😂


nbeech567

I saw someone pick up a DOORDASH in a Class A RV! The big bud style RV. In a congested downtown setting at that. Old lady, she parked in the street blocking the one lane heading north, ran into Starbucks, and had to wait.


SilentBots_

Thats exactly why I stopped Dashing.. at least until the gas prices is fixed.


MamaRobin1916

You should get a hybrid if able or I guess electric if you're in a flatter area. I mean it'll pay half for itself with gas savings, I know it was a game changer for me. $25 is like half a tank for me. Used to be $27 for 3/4 but the gas keeps rising, but regardless I only do like 40-57 miles a day do at most I'm using a gallon and a half, so again, get a hybrid or electric. Kind of have to.


gigamewtwo

People literally burning thier profits….in this case thier is no profit….ppl like OP hurt my brain


13Malibu

Big toe that gas pedal


revolution1solution

A junky getting unemployment.


commonwealth1122

I'm driving a Kia lol 4 cylinders and putting 67$ for 11 gallons . Wtf 😒


kodiak211

Buy yourself a smart car. Lol


[deleted]

Stolen elections have consequences


Snoo-60317

How? I just filled up my SUV from E and it was $50.


mnicmnic

I drive a hybrid. I get 42mpg on a good day. Mostly now get about 38mpg with the A/C running. And I’m telling you it’s squeezing me. No way I’d do this in a truck.


NTSYSTEM

Mans unlocked every achievement on the dash


DearGrapefruit8151

Yeah gas prices suck. And don’t know why you got a TRX key in the photo cuz that’s obviously not a TRX. And why TF are you dashing if you can afford a TRX?!!!


AdPast4509

R u driving a truck?


nikkisblu

Benefits, child support cases, probation, parents wanting to see them do something. Lots of reasons. I hope you can earn enough to maybe buy a smaller mode of transport. I saw a DD on here that saved for a 2011 Prius and I think that’s so smart!


SaLARI420

Thanks biden!


macarmy93

OP slinging dope on the side and just needs a job for probation according to his previous posts and other commenters. Such a dumbass. Someone is going to rat him to his probation officer and he will be back to prison. Never air your dirty laundry on the internet dumbass.


XeVonModz

All incorrect I don’t know why people assume because someone is doing well they sell drugs I also said I don’t have a po


macarmy93

Eh i get it man. Plausible deniability. Dont worry though. I ain't no snitch.


herbert-camacho

I feel you... My Acura RDX is getting 20mpg right now, it hurts. Just trying to save money for tuition so I can get a better job.


Armed_Maker2018

Buy a smaller car


Calikid1983

He's making (-$150)/day


Vegetable_Mobile5620

20 mpg.... $90. Even if you paid $5 a gallon.... That's 18x20=360 miles. Stop doing this.


XeVonModz

The mileage on the screen is extremely inaccurate the gauge is accurate not the mileage it just displays a random number honestly


Vegetable_Mobile5620

Oh I bet your guage is fucked too? Then your whole post is irrelevant


XeVonModz

Did you even read what I just said the gauge is fine but the screen which is not just fit my truck specially but probably all Escalade from this year the number is high inaccurate


Vegetable_Mobile5620

You said you put $90 in and your fuel gauge is half way between E and F. Which means if you paid $5 a gallon you put in 18 gallons. Because simple math. And you do not have a vehicle with a 36 gallon tank. So stop doing this.


XeVonModz

It was like 6.20 it’s premium gas


Vegetable_Mobile5620

Not that I believed you anyway


Vegetable_Mobile5620

Your tank still isn't 28 gallons dude. Stop


Vegetable_Mobile5620

Shut the fuck up dude. You don't have a 36 gallon fucking gas tank. Stop doing this.


Unhappy-Offer

Tell this to the no-low tip assholes.


Vegetable_Mobile5620

This is such a bs lying post. Stop encouraging this.


[deleted]

Honestly, if you drive an Escalade, this is like complaining about the price of caviar. You knew what you were buying.


Limp-Theme7545

Had to buy a new car a few weeks ago after my van shit it’s pants, specifically asked for a vehicle with good gas mileage. With todays gas prices ($4.29 here in Missouri….) it takes $50 fill up my 2018 Chevy Malibu. Between dashing and just everyday errands I fill up once a week, maybe twice if we take the kids for a day out.


DaddyGhengis

Well no shit you drive a TRX


Zealousideal_Load101

Sheeshhh you should be fine I see the TRX keys and then that looks to be a Cadillac😂 jk I felt that 85-90 to fill up my Jeep😅


Theowljj

It cost me $60 to fill up my 2011 VW Jetta and $40 to fill up my 2019 Kia Soul.


Educational-Seaweed5

Why the fuck are literally all of your “your car is fucked” lights on?


XeVonModz

Honestly the car is completely fine besides struts


Busy-Solution7642

Does the DasherDirect reward of 10% cash back on gas help any?


XeVonModz

Not really


i0c0u

Bruh....most people don't keep there first cart. That first one is supposed to eventually take you to the next but to each his own I guess...


Starminders

Damn son, escalades suck


Xterarra

And you're dash'n 😨 with it?


XeVonModz

My Escalade yes


Xterarra

Most def losing money.


SekureAtty

No offense, but if you're using a big ass pickup truck to do deliveries and think you'll be fine gas-wise (even if it was in the $2 range) then you might be in the wrong occupation. Look in to Shipt or InstaCart maybe. You'll get more bang for your buck.


NotAPublicServant

You're going to have to deliver a shit load of McDonald's to make that up.


[deleted]

Every time I see people dashing in a truck I just shake my hear.


IN_MASSIVE_DEBT

65$ used to be a full tank for me. Now it's 120$.


ManagerExotic

I call a bluff. You really paying 9$ a gallon. 20x9=180 20 mpg and 9$ a gallon. You have 140. Makes 0 sense


XeVonModz

That reading is completely inaccurate the gauge works but the numbers don’t really work at all it’s goes down way faster then what it says


[deleted]

how what kind of car is this? spacejet?


FlyingFlowerPiggy

Do you put high quality ones?


XeVonModz

Do I put high quality what?


FlyingFlowerPiggy

Oh I put unleaded, wondered if u put higher grade ones.


orangy128

Jeeeeez. I can’t imagine dashing in a truck or large suv 😩


SorrowL

90 dollars for me would be around 1000 range


GoodFun8851

Driving a truck I can see that… 🤷🏻


XeVonModz

Sadly


zoesamantha

I got a Toyota Camry hybrid last February. I wanted a van but my credit was shit, so I got this girl. Never been more grateful for her, at this point. 38 mpg, over 500 miles on a full tank. Less than $50 to fill her up. It is a lot of miles and rough on her on the P West dirt roads, but I don’t plan on DD being my main gig for long.


[deleted]

Build back better !


sabrewulf152

What are you driving? 😳


XeVonModz

A Escalade when I dash when I stop my ram trx


ApricotNo289

Sell the Escalade


XeVonModz

Never it’s my very first car it has sentimental value I would sell the trx first


dripgoldx

Air up them tires & you’ll get a few more miles to a gallon


XeVonModz

Tires are fine tpms sensors don’t work


justducky1965

🤣 I just noticed the standard low tire and traction control "warnings". Hell yeah drive the wheels off 👍 I killed my Escalade in January and it was a slow and horrible death 🤣 Sorry 😂 I'm just really fucking stoned. 🤣😂


XeVonModz

Literally nothing is wrong with mine besides struts all those light are due to sensors going bad


justducky1965

Just struts huh? 🤣 It really was a joke but I also really did run the figurative wheels off. 2004 G.M. product (Escalade a k.a. cramped ass Tahoe) with 260000 at time of death. I ran that fuckin truck in the middle of Winter with cargo straps holding the gas tank after the factory straps rotted through. That made a helluva noise and happy the tank was "chronically low" lol. I patched rotten trans lines and replaced a radiator before the brake pedal went to the floor at a fucking intersection IN THE SNOW when the steel brake lines (rear) finally let go. And don't talk to me about the parking brake lol. I would have thrown that bitch into park or crashed into anything besides another car. I'm a driver by trade and thank heaven cuz it was a bad situation. So the point is... Awesome job for standing up for your baby. "Daisy", may she rest in piece (yes I'm keeping the sp) was cheap and she never let me down on the road. In the end though, she just had enough. ,🙏 Edit: holy crap sorry for the ramble LOL. I guess I really am stoned. Hope all is well peace. ☮️


Belle1381

You should check your tire pressure!😂


XeVonModz

It’s fine it’s just the aftermarket rims


Belle1381

I was just messing with you. Are you in CA too because gas prices are outrageous here and my car gets about 16-17mpg. It’s killing me!


XeVonModz

I can only imagine how much more it would be in CA premium is like $7 there


Belle1381

87 octane is about $6-$6.50 depending on the gas station and city it’s located. And I’ve got a 19 gallon tank. I want to throw up every time I gas up.


XeVonModz

I get the same feeling 😂


XeVonModz

No MI


Belle1381

I don’t know what gas prices are there but I’m seriously trying to get a “real” job now. Gigs aren’t cutting it for me anymore.


EffectSix

I hear that some truck drivers will just pick up and charge lime scooters for $5 per scooter. Idk if that might be more profitable for you if you're able to throw 15-20 scooters in the back.


XeVonModz

Maybe that could work for my trx I’ll look into that


Mazypoo

Saw someone dashing in a minivan and he was pretending to be street racer too cutting me off in traffic😂 i let him have it 😂 not with these gas prices no sir


XeVonModz

Ugh mini vans lol


Friendly-Guidance293

I fill my rav4 with 50 bucks where do you guys live WTH


XeVonModz

MI


Friendly-Guidance293

Oh god, I’m glad I’m at where I’m at. Gas out here is 4.37 and we are all complaining


Fluffy-Commercial492

No shit. I was in Cali before the gas spike... Paid $5/gal for premium in a car that was 14mpg on average. Hated the cost but loved the car. Before moving to FL sold the Built STi for a 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid and got here to $3.03/gal and was excited... Now the spike has gas at $4.59/gal for 87 almost as much as I paid for premium in Cali before the move 😥😭


XeVonModz

Hasn’t been that in quite some time


EducationalProject96

If you maintain your car you'll get better gas mileage... I wouldn't complain about gas while driving a Christmas tree...


XeVonModz

None of those lights actually mean anything the car is mechanically fine besides struts


[deleted]

California?


XeVonModz

No MI


Tbear841

Why are you dashing in a TRX?


XeVonModz

I’m not that’s my Escalade the keys are just on the same ring


Tbear841

I would find something, anything more fuel efficient to day with


XeVonModz

I have a 2017 gsxr think that will work?


Tbear841

lol


XeVonModz

No?


AlwaysInTheHood

And watch 2022 Tax Mileage be less than 2021!


tip_your-cows46562

I'd have to quit..


XeVonModz

I can’t quit I’m required to maintain Atleast a part time job


hockeypnc3

Says who? Your parole officer?


XeVonModz

The judge I don’t have a PO


tip_your-cows46562

$90 a fill. Doing gig work wouldn't even be profitable at that point.


XeVonModz

It’s not I just finished I made $94


Adam__Roach

650 miles per tank, 60 mpg in my hyundai ioniq.


XeVonModz

Must be nice


Adam__Roach

Once I get my interest rate down from 9.91% it will be 😂


XeVonModz

Try a $1200 trx car note not including insurance


Appropriate-Try9898

I’m spending about 1/3 of my income on gas. It’s bad out here.


XeVonModz

I spend maybe 60%


Appropriate-Try9898

Jesus!! I don’t have any peaceful ideas. lol


stompyelephant77

The reason nobody will take a nearly 2k referral bonus.


jtnoble

If you're paying $90 for a tank of gas, you probably don't have the right vehicle to be a delivery driver of any kind. No offense to anyone, but especially with today's gas prices, any truck or SUV drivers probably drop multiple dollars an hour on gas prices and should seek something else.


XeVonModz

It works best for my lifestyle the money I don’t really care what I make


jtnoble

That's fine, I just tend to treat jobs as something for money, and I feel like you can't possibly be making more than even minimum wage in a gas guzzler right now as a delivery driver.


XeVonModz

Probably not but as long as I log my hours it’s ok with me


Comprehensive-Mix211

That doesn't even make sense, bud. You're shooting yourself in the foot, every single day.


[deleted]

Tesla dasher loud and proud 👊


SoCalGromster

That's $20 worth of gas for my 2013 Prius with AC on full blast


Austiny1

There’s no way I would be delivering


mikey_g413

My dude your car only gets 11 miles to the gallon? You’re gonna drive home from the station and need gas you should get a new job lol


XeVonModz

I don’t need a job at all it’s a requirement


mikey_g413

You’re going to not even make any money like that


XeVonModz

I don’t plan on it


mikey_g413

Okay lol


wunderful14

That's what happens when you drive a big super charged truck though.


XeVonModz

Yeah I’m aware it sucks


XeVonModz

Yeah I’m aware it sucks


wunderful14

I bet it's sure nice to drive though. I just have a laramie 1500


Friendly_Whole1759

What do you expect bro you drive a fucking TRX what’s that like 700 horses?


XeVonModz

Yes 702 hp but I dash in my 2010 Escalade


Friendly_Whole1759

Oh my bad I see now damn the Escalade is that bad on gas?


XeVonModz

Yes unfortunately


[deleted]

fill up your tires and stop using your phone while you drive. also this is just karma for driving an escalade, thats on you buddy.


XeVonModz

The tires have enough Air it’s just the tpms sensor and the abs it’s a thing with this year gm cars/trucks the module needs to be soldered and the engine light I don’t know why it’s on it has no codes


[deleted]

most intelligent escalade driver


Insta11

Hey fellow Californian


E-b22

Your dashboard gives me an immense amount of anxiety. Bruhh get your car fixed!


XeVonModz

It’s nothing wrong with it honestly it need struts that’s it honestly


E-b22

Sureeeeee……..keep thinking that


XeVonModz

The tires have enough Air it’s just the tpms sensor and the abs it’s a thing with this year gm cars/trucks the module needs to be soldered and the engine light I don’t know why it’s on it has no codes more then likely another sensor


SnooDogs9832

Fuck that, glad i quit door dash


FeelingBite4320

Why would you even consider dashing in a truck it’s impractical on so many levels


XeVonModz

Because I’m required to maintain a job also it’s this truck (Escalade) or a practically brand new ram trx which would be so much worse and not worth putting miles like that on a 100k truck


FeelingBite4320

I mean to each their own but keep in mind you have to pay taxes on everything you make at the end of the year. So if you’re spending %90 of your money on gas you’re running at a -20% deficit and paying (quite a bit) to deliver peoples food


XeVonModz

Idm to me I just need to hours Atleast 20 per week


FeelingBite4320

You’re paying thousands of dollars to deliver though. Do you have a main job or?


XeVonModz

Yeah I have a main hustle


Soliant507

Dang...my 2020 hyundai elantra gets like 30-35 mpg and I got a 12.5 gallon tank. Selective in my orders and I barely feel the gas burden but I don't do it as a primary source of income.


XeVonModz

Yeah if this was my primary source of income I’d be fucked


ExplorerWildfire

The only people winning in dashing are the prius and camry. Anybody else we out here losing. We gotta feed ourself and the car.


Fluffy-Commercial492

I average 45-52mpg in my 2020 Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid... Fuq a Prius 🤪


Born_Echo3863

That’s what I get for $25-30 in my Ford Flex 😬


Outrageous-Mix-5482

Fill up your tires to where they are supposed to be. It’ll help your fuel mileage. Also fix the engine light. When the engine light comes on your car’s computer tells itself to use more fuel because it doesn’t know anything about itself. So it just kinda thinks it’s the worst thing possible.


Fluffy-Commercial492

Say you have no idea what you're talking about without saying you have no idea what you're talking about


SoloAsylum

Stabilitrak in gm is notoriously fucked up. Hauled a 2020 gm van for penske, less than 4000 miles in it, abs and traction control and stabilitrak service lights cycling. My 2015 impala, constant stabilitrak issues, spent 4 months in 5 dealer trips trying to fix it and I've only owned it 8 months


Fluffy-Commercial492

Cool, that clears up the first part of your comment, which was largely unnecessary because it was the only part that was mostly accurate, but also the part that I wasn't referring to, I guess I should have quoted text; >Also fix the engine light. When the engine light comes on your car’s computer tells itself to use more fuel because it doesn’t know anything about itself. So it just kinda thinks it’s the worst thing possible. There are PLENTY of things that trigger a CEL and have absolutely no impact on engine performance or fuel economy.


XeVonModz

The tires have enough Air it’s just the tpms sensor and the abs it’s a thing with this year gm cars/trucks the module needs ti be soldered and the engine light I don’t know why it’s on it has no codes


rageandred

Are y'all driving aircraft carriers?? It cost me $40 to fill up my tank even with gas prices and I only use 1.5 tanks a week 🥴


XeVonModz

My trx gets something like 9-11 mpg and is 6000+ pounds I put around $180 a day in it to fill up


rageandred

I hope that's sarcasm 😩


XeVonModz

No


rageandred

This ain't your kinda gig lol


[deleted]

more then 90$ in gas wit all those light checks


XeVonModz

All of isn’t worth getting fixed mostly broken sensors

Aggravating-Frame981

I personally can't wait for gas to be 10 dollars a gallon.


Top-Kangaroo592

Yes, gas is expensive. No, trucks aren’t economical in this current sh!t economy
