Jack Conway says his office's preliminary investigation has found the wholesale price of gas in Louisville is 15-22 cents higher than it should be. Conway claims the problem is Marathon Oil, which he says, has a "monopoly" on the market, supplying 95% of the gas to station in Jefferson County. I'll have more on this story at 5 and 6 tonight.
