Ugh. I just filled up. Gasoline is $3.00/gallon for unleaded plus.

On the brighter side, my milage has increased from 21 mpg to 24 mpg since getting new tires a couple weeks ago.

Lawn care business tips
With all this talk about $100 a barrel it does make me concerned where this is going to tax gas prices next.

Hola. I started the business this year... and my customers dont have no more than 6 months under my services... so I dont think is a very good idea to rise the price, Im afraid im going to scared them away.
so, you guys think I should suck it up and give my regular prices?, or charge a little more for the upcomming custumers?... I hear that the gas prices can go up to $4.00 per gallon (next summer?). another thing is that I use the "premium unleaded" on the big mowers.
