Default Is the price of Gas affecting your tutoring service?

Just wondering about this subject with those of us who travel by car to teach.

Most of my students are 20 -25 miles from where I actually live so I've made a point of organizing my classes to avoid wasting time and gas. But now the latter is *really* becoming more important. Granted, my car gets good mileage, but the trip still costs me almost $10 RT. I have a feeling if I raise my per hour fee, I would lose some students. It's slow in the summer as it is with students going home.

I'm considering teaching from my home, but I know most students won't commute out this way. (I live in the "sticks".)

I've thought about renting a small space and doing more group classes. Just trying to brainstorm.

Anyone else in the same boat? Ideas?
