Depending on your circumstances, your profit before diesel and what (if any) private use you make of your vehicle it could be 40%, 20%, nothing or something in between.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

So it matters even less to us how much fuel costs?..It must be the gambling gene yis have with the numerical predictions.

Of course it matters... if it matters less that's more down to the economic climate than anything else.

I'm surprised you high earning ambassadors give a shite about fuel prices.The difference between the highest and lowest fuel price is only about 5% of your fuel bill.For me that's 85 quid over a year.I probably find more money on the floor over the same period.
I’m not a shambasador and I get 4 cent a liter off. This equates to €2.40 a fill, €4.80 a week and about €240 a year based on working for 50 weeks
So why not go 'Shambassador' 8 cent of per liter, half price car washes and a Two second advantage on instant hails.
The stickers don't worry me, it's a work horse after all.

I mean, who would advertise the company they're associated with, and get paid for it?

We should all have blank vehicles, that'd show them how proud we are!!

Exactly. We have enough stickers without looking for more.

How much do you think mytaxi pays for it's billboards and advertisements on the backs of buses? I'll give you a clue, it's a damn sight more than the ambassadors are given by Circle K and it comes out of it's own pocket.

You should also consider what you are, in fact, advertising free of charge - a firm that uses hackneys and clapped out shiteboxes masquerading as limousines to cover your work, a firm that is constantly enticing new entrants to take your trade, a firm that has outlined it's desire to replace you with P2P rideshare and/or autonomous vehicles.

That so called NTA paraphernalia is your displayed Motor tax cert, your displayed NCT cert, your displayed Insurance cert, your displayed Green Daisies, your door decals, your Front and Back Reg number. And most likely the dealer whom you bought the car from has his I.D. on the reg plates and possibly your meter installer has a few sneaky stickers on the front windscreen and on the boot, plus your mechanic or service agent has his sticker on the front windscreen as a reminder fer your next service.
I also have a few Visa stickers up fer Sum-up seeing as I don't have to pay any commission on street card jobs.

Dealer has the number plate and disc holder, I've no problem with that as I reckon I got a fair deal... if my opinion in that regard changes I'll remove the relevant markings. Meter installer advertises on the till receipt, I don't issue many receipts so not really an issue but I wouldn't recommend the firm (South Dublin Autos/Mechanic 24) to my worst enemy. However, I'm stuck with them as they're the sole agent for Hale in ROI. On the plus side they're handy for reprogramming as they're open 24/7 and the meter takes an advance program. As far as servicing goes, I do the basics (brakes, oil, filters, etc) myself but no mechanic I've used for other stuff (e.g. main dealer for timing belt, Euroclutch for clutch, local man for suspension) has ever attached any stickers anywhere.

Nope, only legally required stickers on my car,
All discs(NCT, tax and insurance) are not stickers, green daises and door decals are stickers. But daisies are inside.

No reg plate surrounds as I always remove them but since I imported the car myself and purchased the reg plates myself and fitted them myself.  Rear reg is stuck on with double sided sticky tape(does that make it a sticker)
Meter installer never puts stickers on car, nor does mechanic.
