The cost of gas and taxi rates

It look's like Tampa is not the only city giving an increase in taxi meters.

This week Philadelphia added a $1 fuel surcharge to there regular metered rate and the airport flat rate also went up, to $28.50 from $26.25.

In Boston drivers are asking for the first increase in the per-mile fare in six years, if approved would increase the per-mile rate by 50 percent and the starting fare from $2.25 to $2.75. That would boost the cost of a 4-mile ride from $11.55 to $16.70.

New York, Chicago and LA have all had raise's in the last few months along with smaller city's like Ann Arbor MI and Austin TX.
