15 MPG City-Ford Crown Victoria
October 1st was the scheduled deadline implemented by Mayor Michael Bloomberg jointly with The Taxi and Limousine Commission, in which All taxicabs that met their 3 and 5 year retirement age had to be replaced by far more fuel efficient cars. Rather than having more 2008 Crown Victorias, we would be seeing all fleets restocking with hybrids. Instead of quickly heading towards a greener future, The T&LC had been sued, and sued again in efforts to prove all hybrids as inadequate for use as taxicabs.
