...agency's own regulators admit that as much as half of the gasoline sold today is priced higher than the law permits. With only 400 inspectors to police 225,000 gasoline retail outlets, enforcement has been futile. This week the department will increase the legal profits retailers can collect. Thus stations, some of which have closed down in protest, may be able to raise prices another nickel a gallon...

Chicago Insurance Expert Robert Schultz belittled such offers by advising that anyone who holds a standard homeowner's policy is already covered against Skylab...
