New Study Finds Oil Company Profiteering Behind Gasoline Price Spikes;
Bush Called Upon To Prevent Profiteering
California's Sales Tax on Gasoline Makes Government Complicit With Oil
Companies
Santa Monica, CA --- A study released by the Foundation for Taxpayer
and Consumer Rights California (FTCR) today found oil company
profiteering and the government's failure to respond to it are the
cause of recent gasoline price spikes in California. Click here to read
the report.

The study by petroleum industry analyst Tim Hamilton showed, for
example, that from January 17th to April 18th 2005 gasoline prices
jumped 65 cents per gallon and refiner profits rose by 61 cents per
gallon. The extra four cents went to the state in increased sales tax
collection. The study concluded that California's percentage sales tax
provides an economic incentive for government officials to promote high
prices at the pump because they result in greater tax collection -- an
estimated $1 billion more in California during 2005 due to the price
gouging. The consumer group recommends a "windfall profits rebate" be
instituted.

FTCR sent President Bush a copy of the study today and called upon him,
in a letter, to warn oil companies against profiteering in the wake of
Hurricane Katrina and issue an executive order prohibiting profiteering
if necessary. (The full letter can be read at the end of the press
release.)

"Oil company profiteering, not increased production costs, is the cause
of the price spikes at the gasoline pump and Californians deserve their
money back," said FTCR president Jamie Court, who served with Hamilton
on the California Attorney General Gasoline Pricing Task Force.
"Hurricane Katrina will only increase the probability of profiteering
and should be a wakeup call to legislators."

"The continued failure of public officials to compel refiners to create
more refining capacity and increase inventories will result in gasoline
prices rising to $4 per gallon relatively soon," stated Hamilton. "The
system is rigged for price spikes and the refiners know it."

The study examined the causes of the doubling of the average price of
gasoline from $1.36 per gallon on January 03, 2000 to $2.72 on August
15, 2005. Among the main findings are:

Increases in the prices charged for oil by OPEC countries are not
primarily responsible for the dramatic increase in gasoline prices in
California. Much of California's crude oil is harvested locally by
major refiners who control their own fields. OPEC nations only supply
approximately 20% of the oil delivered to refineries in California.
Fields controlled by the oil companies in California or Alaska provide
the majority (66%) with the remaining 14% coming from non-OPEC foreign
locations

California consumers will pay an estimated increase of $15.5 billion
more at the pump in 2005 than in 2000 because of profiteering by oil
companies and government's failure to act.

No public evidence exists of substantive increases from 2000 to 2005 to
oil companies in the cost of a) producing crude oil; b) refining oil
into gasoline or diesel; or c) transporting the refined products to
market.

The 2005 California gas prices spike -- with pump prices increasing
from $1.93 of January 17 to $2.72 by August 15th -- was directly tied
to the exportation of large quantities of CARB motor fuel in 2005. By
exporting fuel out of the country, refiners and traders deliberately
decreased available supplies during a period of peak demand.

Inflated profits for California oil companies from their refining
operations -- including an increase of 61¢ per gallon in profits from
January 17 to April 18 -- were a principal factor in the jump in
gasoline prices.

California, which also collects a gasoline excise tax, is one of only 9
states that maintains a sales tax on purchases at the pump. Gasoline
price increases in California will increase collections of the 7.25%
state/local sales tax during 2005 by an estimated 6¢ per gallon (40%)
or approximately $1 billion -- creating the largest gas tax increase in
the history of the state.

California's percentage sales tax provides economic incentives for
government officials to promote high prices at the pump. The sales tax
has created an implied partnership between the oil industry and
California government as both dramatically benefit from the rise at the
pump. The risk that elected officials constantly searching for
additional tax revenue will become "hooked" on high pump prices is
real.

While gasoline sales tax collection increased by over 150% after
adjustment for inflation since its enactment in 1972, the minimum wage
level, also set by the legislature, has fallen nearly 12.5% during the
same period.

FTCR is a nonpartisan, nonprofit consumer group. FTCR and Mr. Hamilton
collaborated on numerous investigations into the causes and effects of
price spikes including the Midwest run-up of 2000 and price spikes or
refinery closures in California (2002, 2003, 2004).
