White Flag Flies in Brighton
|
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.
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? |
