Gasoline, Price
Rise Apr ies Only
To Nev; Product
Roseburg officials for Standard
Oil of California said Monday an
increase of tankwagon price on
ethyl gasoline to service stations
of .3 cents applies to new improved
fuel especially designed for new
cars with higher horsepower, r
To take care of the improved
quality of engines, the gasoline
was developed, but at a higher
manufacturing cost.
The Associated Press reports a
Portland spokesman denied the in
crease means a new boost for the
industry. He said some other ma
jor companies already have boost
ed the price and Standard is only
following the lead. He said one
supplier still is .7 cents higher than
Standard.
The boost was not expected to
lead to a general price increase
for motorists.
A Portland Gasoline Dealers
Assn. official has protested the
boost, but he said he has not com
pared the new tankwagon price
with that of other suppliers.
