Gas price gouging denied by Marathon Ashland executive
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC president J Louis Frank told a Senate Governmental Affairs Committee that charges of price gouging and collusion are offensive and unfounded. He noted higher Midwest sales, Canadian purchases during shortages, and blamed a mix of causes for price climbs while Congress weighs the issue. Ohio and federal officials criticized policy as contributing to instability and revenue issues for highway funding.
