The postal carrier creed tells us they can cope with rain and sleet, but gas prices might be a different story.
U.S. Postal Service spokeswoman Kim Yates says there are about 800 mail vehicles used in Indianapolis, and all of them are necessary to get out our mail. She says we can expect slight increases in postage rates if gas prices keep rising.
Yates also says she expects folks who hand-deliver payments for their monthly bills to starting mailing them more to save gas.
Yates says mail trucks use a consistent amount of fuel each day. She says there has been discussion on the federal level to eliminate Saturday mail delivery to save fuel.
