Independent Witness Describes Oil Price Conspiracy Setting
RADISON Wis AP An independent gasoline marketer testified in federal court Friday about the general setting of an alleged price raising scheme by major oil companies. Carl Beroth of Chicago, president of Acme Petroleum, described the 5 cent starting price at refineries in the east Texas or Oklahoma fields, plus added costs totaling about 18 cents per gallon to the motorist, including transportation, state tax, federal tax, wholesale margin, and filling-station operator profit. The government links major firms to a buyout and output control scheme, alleging price pegging across small-plant supply chains.
