Depends where it's going, I guess? Other factors like A/C take as much power in stop-and-go as when driving. As I said, rough estimate. I would assume a typical taxi would drive more than 200 miles per working day; isn't this a reasonable assumption?

Depends on how much time you spend on the freeway. For me, a typical 12-hour shift covered about 200 miles. Some days I didn't work the full 12 hours; other days I 'got lucky' and had to cover a lot of ground.
One of my better fares was a guy who'd pissed off his girlfriend by (probably) getting obnoxiously drunk at the Lakers/Suns game... It was 89 miles to get him home, then I had to drive 94 miles to get the cab back to the day driver:
