I got my pay statement back from Halloween (they apparently hold back the expensive fares to verify them). I made about $45/hr. I could have chased surge pricing a little bit more, but even with that I'd say $50/hr is probably the top end of what you could reasonably make a night. They say Halloween is the 2nd busiest day of the year and it had almost back to back fares for most of the night. I also drive a very fuel efficient and low-maintenance hybrid, so I'm likely your best case scenario for earnings.
You mathematical geniuses can figure out my net if you want. I don't think anyone is going to be rich driving Uber, but I'm pretty happy to have made cash instead of draining it sitting at home eating pizza and renting a movie.
