Kucinich listens to independent truckers' concerns about "hot fuel" scheme
February 14, 2008
Federal lawmakers took aim at oil companies and service station owners Friday, accusing them of cheating customers by ignoring fuel's tendency to expand with higher temperatures. U.S. motorists could pay an extra $1.5 billion this summer because of it, they said.
It is a little-known industry secret that the amount of gasoline you put in your tank when you fill up in the summer is less than the amount in the winter, in terms of weight and energy content," said Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), who conducted a congressional hearing on the issue Friday.
