[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 157504, member: 1514"] This is getting pathetic. My gas has been increasing at an average of 2 to 4 cents a day here. Its costing me anywhere from 10 to 15 bucks a day to drive. If thats not bad enough...the van that Tony drives to work everyday takes about 25 gallons to fill it up. They work two hours away so thats a 4 hour trip each day not to mention any incidental driving during the day. They have to fill that van up at least 3 to 4 times a week depending. They are now charging all the guys on the van 10 bucks a day to ride. It used to be only 5 bucks a day to ride a year ago. His boss still is going in the hole though...there are 7 guys on the van...but Tony drives so he doesnt have to pay. That makes 6 guys paying the 50 a week...thats only 300 a week and its costing him at least 390 a week in gas alone. He will probably have to go up again on ride charges. The general contractors sure arent going to pay the subs more to get to the jobs. We arent going to make more money to make up for the gas prices. Food prices are going up because of the gas prices to get the food to the stores but we have less money to spend because of how much it costs to fill our tanks...its insane! [/QUOTE]
