AG McKenna to lead public forums on gas prices

Attorney General Rob McKenna and UW economist Keith Leffler will discuss results from the first phase of the state’s ongoing investigation into gas prices and gather public comments during three evening public forums. Come learn about factors influencing gas prices in Washington state and your community. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions and provide information that may be relevant to the state’s investigation. The tour, called “Gas Gauge,” includes stops in the following cities:

In August, we released a report detailing findings from the first phase of the gas prices investigation. The report shows how Washington compares with other states, how cities and counties compare with one another, where our gas supply comes from and what goes into the price of a gallon of gas. The final report is expected to be released sometime in February and will include additional analysis. Information about Washington gas prices can be found online at atg.wa.gov/gas.aspx.
