through the month’s monitoring, Freeman-Wilson drew iwo key conclusions: • Indiana’s gasoline retailers thoroughly complied with the sales tax suspension on mainstream motor fuels. • No substantial evidence of either price fixing or unconscionable pricing was found on the part of retailers. Field investigators found that statewide for the month of July, the average price reduction was 38 cents. The lowest reduction recorded was 17 cents. Other notable findings are: • Stations in six counties failed to fully pass along the tax suspension to consumers for the first two weeksof the investigation; but dramatically dropped shortly after the public announcement that investigators would more closely monitor stations in identified counties. • In a number of smaller communities, some circumstantial evidence revealed that stations priced in a discernible pattern. Such pricing practices, however, were found to reflect the tightness of market competition. No proof of price fixing or agreements among retailers was found. • As of July 31,211 consumer complaints were received on the toll-free gas price line. Of these calls, 75 percent included phone numbers that enabled investigative staff to place follow-up calls. Concerns ranged from geographical

price variations, to weights and measures issues, marina gas prices, allegations of price-fixing, government intervention and reports of no price changes for diesel fuel. In response to the diesel complaints, monitoring expanded to include diesel fuel prices for a threeweek period. During that time, statewide diesel fuel averaged a 3cent reduction. By comparison, mainstream fuels dropped an average of 15 cents during the saqne period. , “I want to urge all consumers” added Attorney General FreemanWilson, “to continue phoning ijie toll-free gas price line. When dialing 1-877-202-2666, every caller should identify the gas brand, street location and city or town wh^re prices are questioned. Additionally, by providing a name and phone number with the message, we gain the ability to respond to these caHs. With this information, we willjhe better able to fully answer consumer questions and concerns.’’ A paralegal and four investigators staff the toll-free price line. A recorded greeting from Attorney General Freeman-Wilson thanks callers for providing information. Calls are monitored daily. As field monitoring continues, the attorney general’s office will continue to exchange information and confer with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC is also continuing its investigation of Midwest gas prices.
