Prius taxis save at least $11,000 a year in fuel. North American-wide savings top $50B by 2016
I'm particularly proud of my column today in the National Post, documenting how taxi cab drivers with a Prius can save up to $20,000 a year in fuel cost. This also has a significant impact of reducing smog in cities. For the full column see http://bit.ly/5iLrCQ

No one has anything to say?
Maybe the column speaks for itself... Maybe not. It's almost as if useful information, when posted in this forum is completely ignored in favour of minutiae. We can have a love-in for the Khadrs, and wish for special status for every "established" religion or culture under the sun, but whenever someone talks about anything genuinely important that could actually garner votes, no one has the time of day...
Great article Jim. Please ensure you can continue to be published even if the NP goes under.
