I dont have many accounts right now as I am just getting started, but I have a lot of accounts close together (5 in a row) and i live in that neighborhood; so no traveling there. I am about $80-$100 a month in gas.

I remember when we started our business in 1996, gas was about $1.25 per gallon at that time. We used to be able to fuel our trucks in the late 90s for around $25.00. Now it takes 4x that. Ugh! I feel like I'm getting old!

You are old!

The lowest I've ever seen gas was in the $.70+ per gallon range...when in high school I never paid more than about $.89 per gallon...premium was about $.06 more or so
