North Carolina Attorney General Initiates 51 Inquiries and Referrals Following Gas Price Gouging Complaints

North Carolina Attorney General Initiates 51 Inquiries and Referrals Following Gas Price Gouging Complaints

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson announced that his office has launched 51 inquiries and referrals in response to consumer complaints regarding gas stations. These actions stem from the 'N.C. Fuel Check' initiative, which was established after the General Assembly passed and Governor Josh Stein signed Session Law 2026-62. This law temporarily suspended the state's 41-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and diesel from October 10 through November 30. Of the 51 actions, 42 were inquiry letters sent to gas stations suspected of not passing the tax savings to drivers. Additionally, nine referrals were made to the N.C. Department of Agriculture concerning discrepancies between advertised and actual pump prices. Attorney General Jackson emphasized that while broad compliance is observed, his office is scrutinizing specific cases where concerns have been raised by North Carolina drivers.
