3. Search for destination on phone 1.
4. Search for destination on phone 2.
5. Select identical destination from search results on both phones simultaneously.
6. Repeat tests 3 times for each destinations listed above.
Prices were identical for UberX and UberPool in all instances. If you don't do step 5 simultaneously, then there would occasionally be a price difference.
your methodology is sound, but I think you need to retest and not use an airport location. Some airport authorities dictate flat rate pricing, and the fact your test has the exact same pricing up to the penny indicates this is the case.
Repeat your test from one city location to another city location and report back!
