White Flag Flies in Brighton

May 16, 7:10 AM
by John Morrissey, Denver Traffic Examiner
 
 
Well, it looks like a truce has been declared in Brighton’s gas war. A guy called in during the “Kelly, Mudflap and Jo Jo show” on KYGO this morning and said it ended peacefully at about 9 last night.

It was great while it lasted. Gas was selling for as low as $3.00 a gallon as Western Convenience battled with the Kum n Go for customers. The caller said there were more RVs on Bridge Street than you will see on the highways for the Memorial Day weekend. 

Now, that is funny.
 
Speaking of gas prices, they are up….again.

That is definitely NOT funny.

According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular is $3.78, a new record high.  Gas prices have climbed 11% over the past month across the country and up nearly 22% from where they were a year ago.
 
Two states, Alaska and Connecticut have crashed through the $4.00 barrier.  I can understand Alaska….but, Connecticut?  Boy, talk about a high gas tax. 
 
The cheapest gas is south of us. Arizona’s average is $3.56 for a gallon of regular. The second least expensive gas is north of us, in Wyoming.

Here in Colorful Colorado, we are paying through the nose at the pump. Even with a refinery stinking up the place, gas wells drilling like crazy all over the state, and a major east/west pipeline that basically follows I-70, we can not catch a break.

When do we say enough is enough?
