Wow, it takes reading someone else's faux pas to go look in the mirror. 
Myself, I charge a fair bit more than most of the competition, but I 
almost never charge for extra distance, or (for the most part) ASAP 
service. Or discount for institutions or multiple pianos. But when I 
see Terry charging a mere $30/hr for travel time -- gosh, your time is 
worth more than that, even if you don't have a tuning lever in your 
hand!  Maybe I should be billing for drive time too ....
