Gas Dealers Push Open Market Gasoline Buying
About 15 Iowa dealers including three Cedar Rapids operators pressed Des Moines lawmakers to allow trade-name stations to buy gasoline on the open market. They argue current allocations favor nonbrand outlets and seek a four-step plan to secure supplies when branded sources falter. The group cites Skelly stations in Cedar Rapids facing shortages and notes federal inquiries into pricing alongside potential oil decontrol.
