To the Editor:

Why are we paying so much more for gasoline in Luverne?As of this writing, we are paying as much as 20¢ more per gallon than people in communities 30 miles or less away.On March 20, while traveling through Pipestone (27 miles from Luverne) gasoline at their stations, including one owned by the same company which has stations here, were selling for $1.64.9.Sunday, March 21, while traveling through Sioux Falls S.D., (30 miles away from Luverne) gasoline at another station owned by the above same named company was $1.59.9.We are getting gouged!Everyone would like to support our local businesses but we like to be treated fairly, too.The Minnesota Attorney General’s office will look into complaints about gasoline prices and you can contact their office in St. Paul at 1-800-657-3787.People are now paying the highest prices for gasoline ever recorded with the national average $1.73.9 and we here in Luverne are paying $1.79.9. Something is not right. A concerned citizen,Dave HesselLuverne
