Garry and Vicki Moore own State of the Art Landscaping, which, like any business that uses a lot of gas, is struggling to cope with a spike in fuel prices.
When the prospect of your next trip to the gas station gets you down, remind yourself that things could be worse: You could be someone like Garry Moore, for whom gas is a tool of the trade.
