I have just been completing my 8weekly stats for the accountant and does anyone else see a very clear paralle between their gross income and litres used....Just curious

Similar to above with van mount, maybe slightly more some days, less others.

I guess I'm around 50p a liter. Should put my prices up. Mind you trad I was more like £10 a liter.

Just worked ours out (very quickly) and it works out @ £0.60 per litre, not including revenue from squeegee work.

that is turnover, not profit I may hasten to add - I wish it was profit.

not cost - turnover per litre used.

eg if you used 400 ltrs and made £200 thats 50pa litre.
