wanted to know how much would be a good price to charge. the business is door to door car/truck fuel filling service. you pay a monthly charge plus the price of gas. you would pay at the end of each month.

a 20.00

b. 25.00

c. 30.00

d. not interested

it is also different prices for the amount of fill ups per month. like 3 per month would be 20.00. but if you want 5 per month it would be more but break down less per fill up.

thanks

might be ok for something on the side but people aren't going to pay that the way things are right now. really...i don't see anyone paying that unless they are very lazy people

yeah the night before by 10pm you go to my website and say u need a fill, and by morning your car will be full. i know people hate to stop and get gas especially in the winter. keep in mind these prices are for a monthly membership

I would start out low at first to get as many customers possible, then down the line if you like it and find yourself over booked or something, start to charge slightly more until you're at a good level. Good luck!

The way I see it... Unless I drive my home car on an empty tank, I will be going out the next day somewhere that most like has a station along the way. Why would I pay someone to do this?

I see that as a failing business, IMHO.
There are outfits down here that fill up boats though for those who have their boats on a lift or docked behind their house.

The only way this might ever possibly maybe work, is if your gas supplier gave it to you at wholesale prices.

+ the fees and permits involved in the storage and transportation of gasoline, and the business insurance that would go with it..

Not a good idea IMO

i was thinking about this the other night....idk what kind of area you live in but this would maybe appeal to women who work alot. for example, i leave for work when its dark out, and bc its so early i dont want to get gas. and i don't come home until its dark and late out, and it can be scary going to a gas station late at night by yourself when no body else is really around. just a thought.

Not trying to rain on your parade but.... do you realize the DOT permits you will have to obtain to transport fuel?? the insurance requirments are alone are crazy. You will have to be under strict DOT regs and its all a pain in the ass, as well as expensive


just a thought. godd brainstorm tho.....:beer:
