Report Alleges Manipulation Of West Coast Gas Prices



WASHINGTON, D.C. (Metro)  -- A new report says oil refineries that were supposed to be shut down in May and October were actually running at least part of the time, leaving little reason for gasoline prices as much as 66-cents-a-gallon higher than they should have been.  

Oregon-based McCullough Research makes that allegation, citing California environmental documents.  

"The Seattle Times" says Washington Senator Maria Cantwell wants a refiner-by-refiner investigation.
