The spike in changes has affected local food truck owners, impacting the amount of food that they can serve to customers.
Guy Ansley, owner of Courtland’s Mobile Grill, said that he has to fill up both his gas tank and his generator.
Ansley said he is being very strategic about where he takes his food truck and how long he keeps it running.
“Right now I am eating a lot of the cost, because I have seen this pattern,” said Ansley.
Ansley said he is trying to avoid raising the prices for his food to offset the costs.
“I try to hold off, so that way my prices don’t fluctuate,” he said.
