Gas price hike gets green light in Northern California
Independent gasoline dealers in Northern California may pass along higher wholesale costs after the Cost of Living Council approved the move. Bud Dietrich of Orinda says the ruling helps dealers amid closures. some stations will raise about 43 cents a gallon for regular and 47 cents for supreme. Wholesale increases since the last ceiling include increments at Chevron Sheila and Arco stations. Company-owned outlets remain exempt from the ruling. Dealers in the Bay Area plan to post new prices immediately and seek permission to raise wages and other costs. Some dealers admit to prices over the ceiling to stay in business, while others claim the government’s formula is confusing and say about 5% of Bay Area dealers violate the limits.
