Some drivers are happy to see the decrease and hope it continues, while some have hardly noticed a difference.
One driver told 13 Action News reporter Zora Asberry: “I would like to see them for sure go down more. They are still high, I actually came here from Albequerque and they are still higher than what I’m used to. I like to see that they are lowering and hopefully there’s more of this in the future.”
Another driver said, “It’s pretty much doubled in a year. It was $2.50 last year, so I haven’t really noticed anything much lower.”
