They use less fuel than 'normal' cars. A lot of City taxi drivers have switched to hybrids and I've heard no complaints- taxi drivers do a lot of mileage so if hybrids cost more to run they would not be using them.

geared   303 #171 Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I've seen a couple of Toyota hybrid Taxi's but thats about it, for the most part it's still diesel saloons. Skoda Octavia for example has long been the workhorse of the private hire fleet. Edited January 12, 2020 by geared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
