Dubious bill of divorcement: the case of oil refiners and gas stations
Journal Article

· Regulation; (United States)
OSTI ID:6290060
The Small Business Motor Fuel Marketer Preservation Act would separate oil refiners from retail management. Fourteen states are also considering bills to require gasoline sales by franchises or independent dealership to help small businesses compete. The results of this approach were higher prices and less service for the customers of Maryland, a state which passed similar legislation in 1979. Based on Maryland's experience, consumers will pay about one billion dollars a year for a national retail divorcement law. (DCK)
