They drove huge gas guzzlers for comfort, and the auto trans probably was smoother for passengers and they had a larger pool of drivers to choose from, economy wasn't a large concern. That's reason enough for a cab business.

The other thing that's nagging in the back of my mind is that you have a larger worker pool to draw from if you only have automatics.
Would a trucker analogy be more appropriate, aka where MPG has a bigger impact on profit?!?!?
