Gasoline Price Debate Highlights Consumer Harshness
A citizen group led by H. F. Byrd and others holds an option on a gasoline batch at 14 cents a gallon delivered with 3 cents tax and 3 cents profit. Retailers, largely tied to Standard or Texas Company tanks, could sell at 20 cents after costs, challenging 28 cent Virginia prices and urging retailers to distribute to ease consumer hardship.
