So how much exactly are you North Americans paying for gas nowadays? In the UK I'm shelling out around US$1.40 a litre. My service area is a radius of 50 miles (high population density, at least a dozen other tuners on the patch). The further I go, the more I charge (currently from about US$75.00 basic on my doorstep, increasing to include the gas bill at the outskirts of my service area) Mick D -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Hechler Family Sent: 11 May 2004 06:30 To: davidlovepianos@earthlink.net; Pianotech Subject: Re: Gas price increase So for once I decided to be a horses a++, so since when do pianos use gas ?

I work in an area that requires me to drive several hours a day and I have calculated that my gas costs have gone up about $40.00 a week. I am raising my prices accordingly. Won't say what they are or will be but I will be dividing the increase among my customers. How is everyone handling this?
