"Don't you big oil
companies get
together to set prices?"
The question of gasoline price affects every
motorist: Standard Oil Company of California re
ceives some letters along these lines: "When I drive
downtown, the prices of all the major gasolines seem
to be about the same. I've heard it said that the major
oil companies get together to set prices. Isn't this true?"
I
The answer is an unqualified NO.' Oil com
panies do not get together to set prices, nor do we
in any way set prices by agreement. But we do
think it's in order to tell you about gasoline prices
ard how they're arrived at:
When you shop you find not
only gas but many products of
the same kind and about the
same quality priced about
alike. Prices just naturally
tend to even up. Here's why-
Suppose a gas dealer were forced to
sell at 2c a gallon more than his neigh
bors. Business would soon pass him by.
Or suppose he had to sell for 2c a gallon
less, still giving full quality and service.
As his competitors cut price to hold cus
tomers, his income falls. In time he
would go broke.
These imaginary exam
ples of set-price policy
show what any gas seller is
actually up against. He
must sell for enough to
cover his costs and make a
living, yet if he charges too
much he'll drive business
away. It's as simple as that.
it tttt
auunr
We "set prices" only at sta
tions we own and operate
Standard Stations, Inc. Ex
perience shows what to charge
to cover cost of product and
service, yet sell in competition.
At Chevron Gas Stations the oper
ators are completely independent. They
make up their own minds about price.
You occasionally see a range of gasoline
prices for the same or different brands
in a single area, until competition finally
forces the prices of similar products and
services back to a common level.
The result: better products
at low cost, the benefit you
always get when free com
petition is allowed to work.
Note this: aside from taxes,
and in spite of inflation,
gasoline today costs about
what it did in 1919, yet two
gallons now do the work
that required three then.
I'd Like tO KnOW . . . Many people write to Standard asking
pertinent questions about the Company. We answer all letters individually,
but some points seem of general interest. We take this way of discussing
them for everyone. If you have a question, we urge you to write in care of:
