Feeling the sting of gas prices? Eighteen cents per gallon is federal tax, 20 cents in Texas. How will this affect how contractors do business? Higher prices? Less travel? Different work vehicles? To get an idea of what our industry is driving and how much, be sure to check our work vehicle survey in the April 2005 issue of Walls & Ceilings (or you can purchase the full survey at www.wconline.com). Readers, please share with us how you are coping with this unexpected expense.

The complete study is available for purchase at our Web site and is for the purchaser's internal use only. Additional industry studies are also available on our Web site and our Market Trends Study will be available soon! Studies are provided in bound format with plastic covers or as a PDF file.
