Oil firms charged with monopoly
The FTC accused eight large oil companies of maintaining a monopolistic grip on gasoline, pushing higher prices for U S drivers and stifling competition for nearly 25 years. The antitrust complaint seeks remedies to restore competition, potentially forcing divestitures or limiting prime processing roles. The firms reported $2.5 billion in last year sales and include Exxon, Texaco, Gulf Oil, and Standard Oil of California.
