Default What will you do about rising fuel costs?

I am looking at adding a fuel surcharge this year if gas climbs like they say it is. What do you guys do to absorb the costs?

Default Fuel Surcharge

I'm probably going to raise my prices by a flat 10% considering that many more costs are increasing too such as insurance, interest rates.

Hi , Here in Florida gas is now $2.29.9 for regular unleaded. I have decided to raise my prices, again, because of fuel etc.. But I am going to wait until we are into the season a month or so & then raise them about $2.50 per cut. My thinking is that it will be hard for them to switch in mid-season Our average here is also $1.00 per minute with 1 helper.

right now, I'm taking the hit. once gas hits $3.00 I'm going to initiate a fuel surcharge. regular is at $2.89 right now.
