Some of the smaller shops will take a big hit as well as bigger shops and National Svc. Providers. Though unconfirmed, one commentator mentioned $4/gal in some Georgia cities. I doubt that out Representatives, Senators even our President realized what we've faced as a nation. The post-Katrina prices alone stood to ruin our economy. Now we're in the worst case scenario. My service is provided on-site exclusively hence I DO plan to raise my rates from the standard $45 call. Maybe this gas spike will prod some politicians to lobby construction of more refineries hence ridding us of the single point of failure.
