WIGGINS, Colorado – Perched behind the cash register at Stubs liquor store, Amy Van Duyn gazed out the window at a red-and-green gasoline price sign, which she said seemed to tick up daily. The price was $4.34 per gallon — about 50% higher than it was in these parts when President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year.
“I used to fill my tank for $36,” said Van Duyn, 42. “Now $36 gets me half a tank.”
Her co-worker Tonyah Bruyette said when it’s time to buy groceries, she’s left ?wondering where all her money went: “We’re putting it in the tank rather than on our table.”
