If Colorado Springs or Pueblo drivers think they have it bad, the drivers in Trinidad, CO say, they've got it worse.

Gas stations in Trinidad are charging up to 50 cents more than in other Colorado cities.

The pinch people feel at the pump is now a full-blown punch for residents in Trinidad.

When 11 News pulled up to the Valero gas station,Casey Mead, the station attendant, was changing the board from the already high price of $4.29 for regular, to $4.39.

"Our gas prices go up every other week at least ten cents," says Mead.

Which has drivers in Trinidad asking the same question.

"I always wonder why?" says Joshua Hernandez, Trinidad.

"It's outrageous, I don't understand how you can go 40 miles down the road and it's 50 cents a difference," says Frank Luna, Trinidad.

AAA says people can hold down their overall gasoline costs by car pooling, keeping their vehicles well-maintained, not driving aggressively, and slowing down a bit.
