If your a working pro its a small investment which Yeilds Big Dividends in the long run just another business expense.

I am more concerning about the rising Fuel-
prices here in Holland (1,60€/Liter=2,52us$)
=9.52$/us gallon !(US price 3,91$)

Just be glad you don't have to drive over 60 miles just to get to the next small town...

As short a distance as you probably have to travel to get to nearby cities, for all your gas's high price, you are probably spending less for transportation than many US musicians (in all but the Northeastern States).

The two CLOSEST towns to me are 45 and 60 miles away! And I am in a fairly developed part of the country... Some have to drive much further than that..!
