Fuel surcharge?

 Mike:

If you believe in your ability to guess where the market's going to go, then a surcharge may work. Depending on the size of your clientèle's geography, you may be smarter simply to raise your prices by small increments on a quarterly basis to reflect the continuous rise in fuel prices. But fuel prices create extra costs everywhere (witness Renner), including the costs you might associate with the pleasures of your life which you want your business to support (pool service? lawn service? my, my). My personal belief is that the prices we see not going to go down, even though there will be minor fluctuations which might make us think so. But $11.00 up today? Hmmm. 

And Mike! You're coming to Chicago? When, where, and what can we do to make you welcome? Wow, what an addition to our technical community, and what a loss to your current one. Stay in touch!

Subject: Fuel surcharge?
















     Last week I got a bill 
from my pool service with a fuel surcharge added.  Today I got another from 
my lawn service with a fuel surcharge also.  Should we,  1. Absorb the 
higher travel costs and say nothing or,  2. Add a fuel surcharge too or, 3. 
Raise our rate to cover the extra cost and lump it together with tuning?  
Comments?
