Taxi Companies are going to go under with those prices.

I really want to get rid of my truck, but I just don't want to lose the utility of it. It's so nice to have for moving or picking up large purchases and for camping and what not. It's not worth it though if fueling the beast up is going to cost me half of what my mortgage is. I was hoping to wait until Hybrid cars come down in cost a little (so it doesn't take a decade to recoup costs in fuel savings) or become more widespread so I can really get some good reviews of how they run over time, how difficult or costly it is to have mechanics work on them, etc.
Taxi companies are going to bite it hard. I guess maybe it'll make it a little easier to get one at least, if less people are willing to pony up for the increased fares that will have to accompany the fuel prices.
