How much to the car owners/drivers make out of these ridesharing services? Is it enough to cover gas/electricity?

I believe lyft keeps 20% of the "suggested donation" and the drivers get the rest. They will also run periodic events where the drivers keep 100% to get more drivers on the road for when ridership is expected to spike.
