UNC: 45 per cent less purchasing power

UNC: 45 per cent less purchasing power for gas now than in 2015
"In 2015, when super gas was $2.70 per litre, you could fill your tank with $89 worth of gas.

"In 2018, after three years of PNM government, super gasoline went to $3.51 per litre. That same $89 would give you a little more than a half tank or 54 per cent.

"Now in 2022, super gasoline will now be $5.97 per litre. What you were getting in 2015 (54 per cent) you will now get 45 per cent or under a half tank of gas for the same $89," Ameen claimed.
