Well, lets see. Put the ladder on top of the Taurus and mileage drops to
about 20.
We're a sole proprietor so all of the gas runs under the same bill. I
filled the boat up once. Melissa drives a Suburban to work (4 miles or so)
and we usually take that on out of town trips (much safer than the car) and
I did fill up two Jerry cans for the dirt bikes.
So there's probably $200 to $250 that's not from my work.
Our gas prices here in town are usually $.20 or more above what the
"national average" is, and sometimes that much more than many of the towns
around us too.
I'm half tempted to get a gas only credit card and start getting gas at
whatever cheap town I'm in today.
But yeah, I put in over 30,000 miles per year just for work related driving.
Not counting the times I use the suburban, we don't write off the mileage on
it.

Marlon,
Are you really driving THAT much? I have 5 full-time installers (each in
their own vehicle) and our network covers 200 miles N-S and 150 E-W and
our gas bill was only $2,200 this last month. We did 104 installs. :)

Hi All,
Just got our $700 gas bill for last month. That's just MY driving. No
employees. And I don't even drive an suv!
I'm thinking of a $20 per install fuel surcharge. Kinda like what the
concrete company did to me last year at this time.
What are people that have large spread out networks doing?
If we slow down on the installs it'll not be a big deal. But if it kicks
into overdrive again in a month or so (pretty normal for us) this summer
is gonna be ugly.
thoughts?
