Compared driving for Uber Eats vs DoorDash in Austin for a week and the difference was wild

So I did a little experiment last week. Monday through Wednesday I only did Uber Eats, Thursday through Sunday only DoorDash. Same hours, same area (downtown Austin). Uber Eats I made $340 but spent like $60 on gas because I kept driving way out to the suburbs. DoorDash I made $290 but only spent $30 on gas since most orders were within a 3 mile radius. But also Uber had way more no tip orders. Like 8 out of 30 were zero tip. DoorDash only had 2 no tips out of 25. So even though UE paid more gross, after gas and time DoorDash was actually better for my wallet. Anyone else run into this difference in your city?

8 no tips out of 30 is not that deep honestly.
