As of Friday March 20, gas in Denver averaged $2.03. Colorado averaged $2.12. The U.S. averaged $2.17. The cheapest price in the Denver area is $1.55, and Granby averaged $2.54.<\/p>\n
When Granby Ranch, Winter Park and others just announced layoffs, keeping prices this high is wrong. High gas prices also keep the cost of services higher than necessary. I know it costs more to haul it here and it\u2019s easy to charge a high rate for tourists, but $1 per gallon over the cheapest price in the Denver area is unreasonable. Before just a few years ago, the prices were 10-20 cents over the Front Range. <\/p>\n
I talked to the Fuel Manager for King Soopers a few months ago regarding this subject. His response was they just follow the market. I commented that City Market is the market. As the \u201c800-pound Gorilla,\u201d they can and do charge what they want. I noticed that Sinclair, a much small player, has lowered gas these past few weeks, but not City Market.<\/p>\n
I understand we get fuel points for shopping at City Market, but we get the same fuel points if we buy gas at King Soopers. <\/p>\n
If people are happy with gas prices in Granby, this is fine. Otherwise, please complain where you buy gas and say you expect a more reasonable price. Hopefully, with mass complaints we residents can get the price lowered. <\/p>\n
