FUEL RETAILERS OPPOSE S. 4217

Added on: June 3, 2022

Abstract:

NATSO urged the Senate Commerce Committee in a May 25 letter to oppose gas price gouging legislation unless it is substantially changed to ensure it will help, not hurt, efforts to address rising fuel prices. NATSO opposes gouging and market manipulation, which harms the American public and the retail fueling industry as a whole. But such unlawful activities are exceedingly rare and neither gouging nor market manipulation is a characteristic or driving force of the retail market prices.
