Absorb the higher travel costs and say nothing or,  2. Add a fuel surcharge too or, 3. Raise our rate to cover the extra cost and lump it together with tuning?  Comments?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Mike Kurta, RPT</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Auburn, NY</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Soon to be moving to the Chicago area.....</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
