(Tulsa, OK) - Tulsa drivers woke up Friday morning to discover that gas prices had jumped again, another dime or so, bringing the price at most stations around to $3.69 per gallon.

 

Pizza delivery drivers like Daniel Peterson are feeling the pinch.

 

"There is a small reimbursement," said Peterson.  "But it has factored in the fluctuation in gas price, so yeah, that's coming out of my pocket.

Peterson drives an older Nissan Pathfinder to make his deliveries.

 

"Not very efficient," he said.

 

So he's thinking strongly about switching to a smaller, more economical vehicle.

 

He said he hasn't heard any talk of adding a fuel surcharge to the delivery fees but wonders how long any business can survive the higher gas prices without passing the cost on to the customers.

 

Experts say the increase in fuel prices has affected the price on many goods and services.
