I'm not tuning full time and driving all over the place, but back when I did, and we had a massive increase in gas prices, along with a lot of other tuners, I increased my tuning fee to pay for the added expense. Since then, however, the price of gas has gone down, but as far as I know, no one lowered their fee. 

My question to all of you working full time, since we've had an increase of almost $1 per gallon, have you increased your fee, and will you lower it when gas prices go down again?

I have never increased prices based solely on the cost of gas. This is usually just one factor among others that spur a price increase. 

The steep gas prices that we saw a few years ago became, in my thinking, "the last straw" that forced my prices up. In 48 years I have never reduced my fees.
