CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — While Timothy Overton pumping gas into his tractor-trailer, he was paying close attention. The price at the pump, keeps going up and up.
"It was about $200, now it's about $400, "said Overton about the price of filling up his truck. "I've got a small tank, but the big tanks it was $700-$800. Every day it goes up more and more."
