Just my two cents regarding fuel usage. I hear a lot of folk talking about how we need to cut back our driving, or drive more economical vehicles. Not everyone can do that. I use a work van for my business, to carry tools and parts and the like. No way to go smaller. As for living closer to my work, it just can"t be done around here. The bulk of my work is in a very wealthy island community that I couldn"t afford to live in if I upped my prices a thousand percent. The workers who flood into the island every day live 30 to 60 miles away on average. It"s the nearest a working man can afford. And as for the oft-heard "just up your prices"... I"m charging what the market will bear. Higher and I lose business.
For me it"s simple. As fuel and related costs go up, I lose money. Period. And I lose doubly: greater expense and lower real income. At some point I"ll hit that critical level, and I"m just not sure what I"ll do then.
