Gas here is about $3.50 a gallon, or for those of us with the premium only cars; $3.75. Investors are driving the price of oil up and up, it's a great investment now. I may even be a part of the problem. I really don't see how a client is going to pay a gas surcharge per mile, let me know if that works out for you. With so many of the "cell phone" abstractors going under the day may soon come when the abstractors that weathered the storm will come out on top. Time will tell.
