Colorado Gas Prices Soar, Hitting Workers Hard

Colorados gas prices soar, with regular unleaded averaging $4.44 per gallon, a 16% increase from last month and 45% up from last year. Diesel hits $5.51 per gallon, up 60% from last year. Rideshare drivers, construction bosses, and truckers are hit hardest, facing increased costs for insurance, maintenance, and supplies. Temporary relief measures from companies like Uber and Lyft are insufficient as the affordability crisis spreads to groceries and housing. Senators like John Hickenlooper are hearing workers concerns, but a quick fix remains elusive, leaving residents to reconsider commutes and grapple with the ongoing pump pain.
