There's a structural reason why Western Slope communities consistently pay more at the pump. Refineries in Texas and North Dakota are significantly farther from Western Colorado, and transporting fuel across the Rockies adds measurable cost at every gallon.

For millions of American families, the ongoing U.S. military conflict with Iran is not just a foreign policy story — it's a kitchen table issue showing up in their gas tanks, grocery bills, and monthly budgets.
