Pick Up Mileage vs On Trip Mileage

[twoyears]

2016 and 2017 rates Canadian tax automobile allowance rates.
54 cents per km for the first 5000 km and 48 cents per km driven after that.

I am in the process of doing my taxes and am calculating the total number of kms I drive for UBER. This includes the mileage to pick up the fare.

Last year I was much better at recording the empty mileage. I found that empty mileage was 41% of what my On Trip Mileage was.

This year I was not so diligent at recording my empty mileage. I drove 5893 km with a customer in the car (On Trip Mileage). I was going to say that empty that would be an additional 2947 km, for a total of 8840 km. I am using 50% for this calculation. I know it is best to record the actual amount but was wondering what others have found driving in the KW area.

Pick up Mileage vs On Trip mileage- What have you found to be the ratio?

Thanks

Its hard to say.... some trips are 100%, stacked pings lower that number... My average was 45%.... but my driving habits are way different than someone who does this more frequently than I.

Thanks, looks like my unscientific method is within range.
