Gas Price War Lowers Weekend Rates in Austin
Austin motorists saw a weekend gas war with prices as low as 25.9 for low test in the cut-rate division. Major chains cut low test to 27.9 and high test to 31.9 while Midwest prices remained firm with many stations at 32.9 for low test and 36.9 for high test. A temporary surplus with independents amid rising operating costs explains the price drop.
