After Suncor Energy temporarily shut down Colorado's only oil and gas refinery last month, many industry experts told drivers to expect a rise in prices at the pump. Despite some signs that prices weren't affected, those predictions now appear to be coming true. New data from the American Automobile Association show the average cost of a regular gallon of gas in Colorado has shot up from $2.86 to $3.82 since Suncor Energy paused production at the Commerce City refinery on Dec. 21. Fuel prices have surpassed the national average over the same period.
