Idaho Gasoline Prices Focus of DOJ Inquiry
Senator Henry Dworshak pressed the Justice Department to investigate why Idaho gasoline prices run higher than neighboring states. Attorney General Tom C. Clark explains Idaho’s prices reflect tank wagon bases from Salt Lake City plus rail freight, higher Idaho service station markups, and a gasoline tax 1–3 cents above nearby states. The DOJ outlines ongoing antitrust actions, including suits against Standard Oil of California and other majors, to foster price competition and reduce Idaho’s retail price differentials.
