Gasolene Prices Driven by Demand Says FTC
Washington June 1 The Federal Trade Commission reported to Congress that recent gasolene and petroleum price rises are mainly due to supply and demand conditions rather than restraint of trade. Strong demand is cited as the primary cause, with improved production and imports noted, while the commission cannot say if refined product prices are disproportionate to crude oil moves. It also notes uncertainty about current year corporate profits, though many oil companies reported large profits in 1949.
