When I worked for a brick mason for a month, it was my responsibility to get to the storage unit 45 minutes away by 6am. Then I rode in the truck with the mason. When we needed materials, he'd throw me the keys and tell me to put the cost on his company tab. People at the yard would recognize the truck and bill his account.
I had just gotten out of prison, so my bank account was 3 digits. Fuel prices mattered more to me back then, just as the price of everything mattered more.
Regarding the comment, fuel prices affect the cost of just about everything. We live in a wealthy era because of cheap fuel and cheap machines. If we relied on expensive machines like oxen and slaves, we'd all be relatively poorer.
