Tell me about it ... even the trades are putting "fuel cost" clauses in
their bids the past two months.

"SurCharge" riders are nothing new.

Here in SoCal, been getting fuel surcharges on resin and glass
deliveries the last 3-4 years. Usually $10/delivery.

Still remember when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market.

Almost everything I sold that had silver contacts, carried a silver
surcharge until things settled out.

Of course, back in the days of rampant inflation, "Price in effect at
time of shipment" was popular.

There was no such thing as a quote good for 30 days.
