What happened
On October 10, 2026, Jared Polis issued an executive order addressing high gas and diesel prices, which he linked to the war with Iran. The order directs the Colorado Department of Transportation to allow truckers to carry more fuel on state highways and allows the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to avoid enforcing the prohibition of dyed diesel.

Why it matters
The rising costs of gas and diesel are reportedly straining Colorado families and increasing the cost to transport goods, which also hurts farmers and ranchers in the state. The executive order aims to lower the cost of delivery of gas and diesel, resulting in potential savings for residents.
