Why the crown vic? You have to recognize that a fleet of cabs is a huge capital investment. Along with that investment are their repair shops which are fitted with equipment to fix crown vics (or whatever specific models are in a fleet). Plus, one never knows what sort of agreement the cab companies have with Ford to purchase certain numbers of vehicles in the future.
Bottom line, a lot more variables go into swapping a fleet of cars other than gas price and fuel efficiency. And there are probably plenty more variables than I mentioned above.
One thing is for sure, each of these companies have cost accountants crunching the numbers every day.
