Insane Gas Prices

At the end of the day, I think we all need some perspective on this whole thing…its not really a big deal.

Assuming that last year you spent $50/wk on gas, even if your gas prices double, it’ll only be $10/day more. Chill out, don’t panic, and get smart about finding more work, and you won’t care if gas triples.

Perspective.

Double amen, Kevin!

In the UK it costs over £1.00 per litre. - That’s $2.00 per litre!

Average hourly rate for a window cleaner in the UK I would say is around £20 - £25 per hour ($50 per hour)

In Italy where I am its just as bad - around €1.50 per liter.

Do you have any “Kevin’s” in the UK. You know, guys who charge super premium prices and do well?

@CFP

is gas chewing into your profit that much? what the heck are you driving? how big of an area do you service?

Is gas responsible for the loss, or is it in combination with something else?

Gas will only rise, you need to do something to plug that hole

I have a 4 banger 2006 toyota tacoma, i get about 300 miles per full tank of gas, which usually costs about $75.00

My coverage area is about 200 square miles, from Orange County to South L.A County

There are a lot of window cleaners that earn more than £25 ($50) an hour in the UK, but then there are those that earn less.

I’d say those that those that work smart can earn £500 a day ($1000) But they are few and far between.

The pricing set up is different. But this is going off topic…
