Arlington County wants to require greater fuel efficiency in its taxis and give the county manager the ability to impose surcharges if gasoline prices jump.
The initial fuel efficiency standard would be 26 miles per gallon for the year between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011. By 2020, the standard would be 35 mpg. In both cases, the standard would adhere to federal standards if those were more stringent.
