Ummm...do you guys think city hall is pulling in millions a quarter at a time? I wager (though I have no facts to back it up) that they probably break about even in most cases but even if that's not the case, it probably isn't much. The point of meters isn't to make a bunch of cash, it's to keep high traffic parking areas moving. Otherwise, rich folk with wads of cash would just take up prime parking spots all day. Hell, at going rates, *I* could afford to use a meter all day.
That's also why it's illegal to fill someone else's meter.
