Lt Frank Metzger notes the patrol’s equipment, including 54 cars with a miniature computer for speed detection and first aid kits.

Local gas price war cuts regular to 27.9 cents
The first gasoline price war in years drops regular to 27.9 cents at a few stations with more expected to follow. Independent stations- versus major companies- blame each other for the move. Some offer discounts on large fills while one manager notes a business boost of about a third. Normal prices run 35.9 to 38.9 cents, and attendants expect tanks to fill while prices swing back. Revenue loss is shared, but one manager says increased volume prevents real losses.
