Gas in Colorado is Cheaper than the National Average

Currently, the national average price for gas has declined from last week's record-breaker and as of March 22, 2022, it is 4.252. Thankfully, in the state of Colorado, the current average price is 3.956, which is 29 cents cheaper than the national average.

“Usually this time of year, with warmer weather and longer days, we’d see an uptick in gasoline demand as more people hit the road,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson.

“But we had a slight drop in demand last week, which may be due to higher pump prices. In our new survey of drivers, 59% said they would change their driving habits or lifestyle if the cost of gas hit $4 per gallon. And if gas were to reach $5, which it has in the Western part of the country, three-quarters said they would need to adjust their lifestyle to offset the pump price.”
