El Paso, the struggle is REAL especially at the gas pumps! If you filled up your tank recently and did a double take at the pump… you’re not alone.

The national average for regular gas is now hovering around $3.60 per gallon, after jumping dramatically in recent weeks due to rising oil prices and global supply concerns.
