You'll find, that most taxis, are LPG only. When they convert them, the petrol system is de-activated. It is illegal for them to run on petrol.

Taxi's are maintained properly, that is all. They have to be well maintained, again, legal requirement. Here in NSW at least, Department of Transport is very strict on the taxi's and how road-worthy they are. Even if its 1 million km old, near the end of its service life, it has to be mechanically A1. The interior my be falling apart and body might not look crash hot, but underneath where it counts, they're looked after well.
