Gas prices ares till going up. Can hybrids save us from the City Hall?

Does anyone know how much leases have gone up on hybrids in NY?

I heard that to cover both acquisition and replacement costs of the battery system lease could go up $10 per shift.

The $4 is for the first mile.

It has been for years when the flag is $2.00. The village wants the meter count $0.40 at the end of the first mile.

Now, it is just about right.

It's incredible how the latest increses of the gas prices are making "waves" !!! Can just somebody chill out and think that a meter increse will only make the few customers that are hard to find already will disapear almost completely. You will wait for the tourist and the people participating at some conventions to take cabs and pray that you will be able to pay the lease every week. Its bad guys, whatever you think of. Hybrids are welcome but the maintanence on them will be more expensive and the lease will be higher. Good luck anyway. I just think that the fuel surcharge should be included in the flag poll and thats it. We are ready for the hybrids.

I would rather take food out of my children's mouths than make my customers pay more for their ride.
