In 1990 I went broke in the trucking business when diesel was $1.25 (my truck and trailer only got 4 miles to the gallon). Now I'm in the real estate business and gas over $2.00 a gallon. Yeah, I'm going broke again. My vehicle gets 10 miles to a gallon now, and I'm spending about 150 a week on gas.

You're supposed to instantly raise your prices, even daily or hourly if you have to, to pass those costs on to your customers...How much simpler could it be.< /sarcasm >
