Perched behind the cash register at Stubs liquor store, Amy Van Duyn gazed out the window at a red-and-green gasoline price sign, which she said seemed to tick up daily. The price was $4.34 per gallon ¡ª about 50% higher than it was in these parts when President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year.

¡°I used to fill my tank for $36,¡± said Van Duyn, 42. ¡°Now $36 gets me half a tank.¡±

Her co-worker Tonyah Bruyette said when it¡¯s time to buy groceries, she¡¯s left ?wondering where all her money went: ¡°We¡¯re putting it in the tank rather than on our table.¡±
