Does Uber account for gas prices?

Riders taking Uber trips will pay a fee of $0.45 to $0.55 per trip, and Uber Eats deliveries will include a $0.35 to $0.45 surcharge, the company said. The fees are temporary and will last for at least two months. The company said the fees will go to drivers, who are responsible for paying for gas they use.
