So if fuel has doubled in 2 years, a jump of a third surely means they're still earning less than 2 years ago, especially adding into the equation inflation.

Inflation is also going to make people less inclined to have a night out in the city anyway, unless they can afford it, then a modest taxi rise is the least of their worries.
