New-ish MG5s going cheap

[Belker]

At 400km per week you would be taking in about a Monkee + in about a weeks total of 14 hours worked, which just might do IF you had no dependants/car loan/mortage, Etc.

It wouldn't work fer me and I live a very frugal lifestyle.

[mercenary for hire]

I reckon it's closer to 500 busy km a week but more like 8/9+,after commision..Hardly life changing money in today's economy.We have renters who only work days paying out €400+ before they earn any money for themselves.

Fukking pensioners are getting €260 a week for doing nothing....

I was earning more money twenty years ago as a bike courier in real terms.The wages were only €680 after tax but everything cost half what it does now and I didn't need a shiny  expensive electric vehicle go to work.

500km and always busy by day at €1.70 per km (even tho the current day rate is €1.30 per km) would get you your "8/9+, after commission".
Unless you do Schoolie only those figures don't add up MFH.

The meter goes up on time tarrif with the traffic AFAIK.I spend a lot of time at lights which might bump it up a bit

Most of my jobs are short app jobs so the commission is mostly negated by the PUC.

Maybe I've found some sort of taxi scam that nobody else has found yet.Kinda proud of myself.I always know I was special....

1.70 a km sounds about right.Sometimes it's more,sometimes it's a lot less.Day work needs a little bit of thought like I said somewhere else.

The speedo on my Chinese heap better not be lying.

Merch how much is your ESB per month for the car or do you have a clever meter or app to tell you ?

[mercenary for hire]

John the last few bills have been between 65 to 78 for two months of EV usage.Less than a tenner a week.

I'm on the bord gais smart EV plan with 33% discount and super cheapo rate between 2 and 5am of about 6.5cent a kw.Most nights I only charge it about 20kw which costs about 1.50/1.80 after that it's 18c a kw.Still cheapish.

[John m]

FUCK SAKE I need to get a deal My bill is 133 last month ?

[mercenary for hire]

You'll end up back on the nights...

Actually my last total  bimonthly bill was 210 but 64 of that was the car.I think my peak rate is a bit dearer between 5 and 7 pm.Maybe 34 cent per kw or something.

I just realized you said monthly.Deffo worth getting. A better deal.They usually offer you sign up credit too.

That makes no sense, the Day rate is €1.30 per km and that is if your have a fare onboard and meter running 100% of the time fer your 500km. Your figures don't add up MFH.

[mercenary for hire]

That's the one John.Set your charger to come on at 2am and let it fill up until 8am.

There are other ones but that's the one that best suits my situation.If you've no smart meter you can't get those plans though.

I don't know where the problem is.Dont forget the extra passenger charges.Occasionally a full car going local can be worth more per km than a longer single passenger job. a I typically have very few empty kilometers.

Have ya considered that I might just be very good at my job Belker?.....I could be Steven Hawking of the taxi game...

I have a clever meter .That looks Ok I have Electric Ireland no deal .I get Emma on to that as soon as my next bill comes in and I clear it .

[mercenary for hire]

Ah Ok John I broke my electric ireland contract before the 12 months and they didn't charge me a breakage fee which was nice of them.The sooner you switch over the quicker you start saving.

Considering you incurred Fines fer not BOTHERING to display your required taxi dash ID, then NO the thought that you were very good at your job never occurred to me.

Also your figures don't add up MFH, simple as.
