Gas& Grass

Updated: January 7, 2009
The price of gasoline continues to rise and your car may not be the only thing feeling the crunch. If you`ve filled up your tank recently, you know the bill can hurt your wallet. If you want regular unleaded the cost per gallon is up to $1.85. And filling up that tank can break anyone`s bank, but imagine if you normally pay over one-hundred dollars a week for gas. Kevin Frazier owns the Aardvark Lawn Service in Webb City and he has to pay that bill. He spends that to fill up his lawn mowers and trucks just for his business. He says a large part of the gas is used in his trucks transporting the lawn mowers from place to place. Kevin says he hasn`t raised his prices to offset the costs. He says he did raise them a few years ago and was lucky not to lose any customers. But he says he`s not sure what would happen to his business if he was forced to raise prices again.
