Gasoline price gap blamed on government rules in Texas
Houston station operator George Hardy blames regulations for up to 12 cent gaps between major brand and independent gasoline prices in Houston and other Texas cities. AAA shows regular prices from 44.9 to 57.5 cents per gallon, with a $2.75 gap on a 22 gallon fill. Hardy criticizes crude entitlement rules he says raise costs for independents.
