To the Editor:
In " Painstakingly Reimagining City's Cabs, Down to the Floor Mats " (news article, April 2), the factors weighed in designing New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow were described at length. Sadly, there was no mention of fuel efficiency.
With gas prices averaging $4 a gallon, presidential talk of invading our strategic petroleum reserves and the specter of yet another Mideast war, we need a vision worthy of this new century, not the 1950s.
