Winnipeg motorists will not gain in the Long run from the current gasoline Price the Auto motive trades association said monday. The Ata said the Combine investigations department should Aunch an inquiry generally into the Canadian gasoline Industry and in particular into the re cent agreement respecting retail prices introduced by the Star Oil the six cent Price Cut has two objectives says the Ata neither of which is designed to Benefit the Public. The first is to draw business away from the Cut rate inde pendent off Brand retail dealers. The second is to enable Oil companies to obtain in the run a higher wholesale profit by depressing the margin of profi available to retail report quoted the Ata quotes a United state Senate sub committee report on the Oil Industry publishes in july which says in part Price wars regardless of thei origin can and have had the e feet of permanently reducing the margin of profit available to to dealer while not lowering but i some cases increasing the who Sale Price the dealer must pay. The Ata goes on to quote further Section of the Senate coir Mittee s report Short term Lessee dealers i Many instances have been coerce or induced by their Oil compan stores into so called Price wars an Effort to secure the Busine Joyed by the Low Price off Brand Ealer the Oil companies testified thai air discounts Are Given to meet Competition it is significant that when the of Brand station is forced to raise s Price that the discounts re withdrawn and the Price War ads overnight and retail prices return either to their former or higher level. The evidence is therefore to b effect that the Oil Companie concept of meeting Competition involves the practice which re Cults in the isolation and then the destruction of Competition the Ata adds to this that the practices of the companies in can Ida Are the same As in the uni de states and often Are initiated rom the six cent reduction in win Lieg says the Ata is based on what amounts to a three cent reduction in the Price of whole Sale gasoline with the retail operators reducing their Normal mar in by an additional three cents Normal margin the Normal margin of the re Tail operator amounts to apr Phi namely 6.3 cents on no. 2 gasoline for the average service station in Winnipeg having an annual Sale of Gallons per year this gives him a Gross income or per year from Gas Olun sales. The Normal margin recommended by the Ata is not excessive. In fact no Oil company can operate a station at the same mar Gin without losing Money.
