The Obama administration is monitoring gasoline and diesel fuel prices in 360 U.S. cities to guard against fraud or price manipulation, according to a White House report released today.
The report, which also says the administration has made progress weaning the U.S. from foreign oil imports, outlined the extent of price monitoring that President Barack Obama previously announced. At a March 6 news conference Obama said he asked Attorney General Eric Holder to reconstitute a special task force to ensure the government is watching for “potential speculation in the oil markets.”
