 "As Alaska gas prices remain substantially higher than in the Lower 48, Petersen introduced HB 68 to end price gouging. Petersen's bill would prohibit Alaska's major oil refineries from charging excessive or exorbitant prices for gasoline, diesel, heating oil or airplane fuel. If prices exceed Washington state averages by more than 10 percent, the burden of proof would shift to the refinery to justify its prices.

Previous investigations by the House Judiciary Committee and the Legislative research division found that Alaska's high prices are largely due to high prices charged by refineries to retailers. Last year Alaskan refinery prices rose sharply, even when crude oil prices were falling.

Petersen is joined as a sponsor of HB 68 by Reps Scott Kawasaki, Chris Tuck, Les Gara, and Max Gruenberg (all D-Anchorage). Sens Bill Wielechowski, Johnny Ellis, and Hollis French (all D-Anchorage) have introduced similar legislation in the Senate."
