New York Minute 9 - Fuel Economy

I noticed the new car smell right away. The cab driver confirmed that I was riding in a brand new Toyota Camry. He said that he loved the car and that it only cost him seven dollars per shift in fuel. His old car cost $45 per shift.

I asked him if the car was a hybrid. It was.

"You must be saving a lot of money," I observed.

"Yes," he replied. "But I have to pay a $42/week surcharge for driving a hybrid."

What idiot came up with a rule that penalizes commercial drivers for using fuel efficient cars? How does that make any sense?
