Gas prices on the rise in Yuma
Small vehicles costing more at the pump
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Gas prices are on the rise. In Yuma County, they are in the $3 range with the highest at $3.15. While some say it’s due to politics, others are saying it’s due to the temporary shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline.
One local shares his thoughts on the rising cost of fuel.
"It’s a bad thing, and I put gas this morning, and almost $40 of gas in my V4 car, and I mean everything’s goin’ up and just the minimum wage is not going up. So, it was like $25 to fill up my gas when it was really empty and now it’s almost $40," says Yuma local Antonio Olivas.
This is not just a local issue as fuel supply is down throughout the country. Colonial Pipeline ended up paying the $5 million ransom, in order to get things back to normal.
