I was scared when gasoline started going up to $3 a gallon in our area, however I had no system that it would get as terrible as $5 when oil prices skyrocketed.
Needless to say, I had to quit using our car as much and devised a program to ride our bicycle to work on any afternoons when the weather outside would permit.
If it’s too cold, I don’t have a option however to drive our car. I know this has hit the pizza delivery companies hard, because now they have to charge a higher fuel fee and that causes a loss in orders and relocation from them. I have a close friend who does food deliveries for one of the giant companies that handles them for chain diners. She says that it’s becoming less and less profitable for him to run deliveries when gasoline is so overpriced. It looks enjoy it’s dropping a little, however surely not enough. Even the marijuana delivery services have been hit hard by these fuel increases. My number one marijauana supplier in the entire state used to do free delivery for any size order. They simply had more than one delivery afternoons available each week for each corner of the state. As long as you were okay with this small delivery window, you could get free delivery. Now you have to pay a delivery fee of $25 for all orders that are under $125 after sales and taxes have been factored in. This is discouraging if you want a small order, however it seems almost all of the marijuana delivery services in this state are charging for small orders that don’t reach a minimum order threshold.
