There’s a wide spectrum of clients.  Some scrimp & save to see an escort for an hour once a month; others hire for evenings, weekends, week-long vacations without bothering to check their bank balances.  The scrimp & save guys do a lot less hiring, but there are also (I’m guessing) a lot more of them.  Spending $50 more a month on gas must affect them at least a little bit.  Maybe they hire once every 6 weeks instead of once a month.  For the clients on the other end of the spectrum, gas prices?  Pffft!

@BSR Thank you for acknowledging the fact that some of us guys have to scrimp and save to be able to hire providers on a fairly regular basis. In my case, I was a self employed small business owner, who is retired and living off my SS and moderate income from investments. So, definitely live on a budget, that is affected by higher gas prices and the increasing costs that are associated with it. I also have oil heat, so my heating bills have increased considerably, as well.
