Attorney General Todd Rokita launches IN Fuel Watch

Attorney General Todd Rokita today launched IN Fuel Watch, a new public online portal that provides real-time gasoline prices at more than 4,600 Indiana gas stations around the entire state. 
 
The user-friendly website allows Hoosiers to search, filter and sort stations by price, city or name. It features live statewide metrics — including the current average price and average change since the tax suspension began — along with color-coded indicators for each station: green for those dropping prices more than 17 cents below the April 8 level, yellow for moderate changes and red for any increases. 
 
“Hoosiers deserve clear, accessible information about gas prices in their communities,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “IN Fuel Watch gives you the ability to check local prices and see how they compare across the state. We know every penny matters right now and are committed to making sure you are treated fairly at the pump during this time.”
 
By providing this transparent view of pricing across Indiana, the portal helps families make informed decisions at the pump while equipping Attorney General Rokita’s Consumer Protection Division with real-time data to monitor the market and potentially investigate retailers with unjustifiably high prices during the declared energy emergency. 
 
Attorney General Rokita said his office will enforce Indiana’s Deceptive Consumer Sales Act and price-gouging laws if stations fail to pass along savings or charge unconscionable prices. He added that although state legislators have made laws confusing when it comes to whether a gas station is gouging during an energy emergency, the Office of the Attorney General has made these issues easier to understand through the work of good attorneys and a “can do” information technology team. 
 
Attorney General Rokita thanked Chief Technology Officer Sreenath Bangaru and his entire IT team for their swift work in developing and quickly launching this transparency portal. 
 
“We’re proud of how quickly our team built and launched IN Fuel Watch,” said Chief Technology Officer Sreenath Bangaru. “This tool not only gives Hoosiers real-time transparency into gas prices across the state but also sends a clear message to retailers: our office is closely monitoring the situation."
 
Hoosiers can visit IN Fuel Watch immediately at https://infuelwatch.com/ to check current prices in their area. 
 
Anyone who believes they have witnessed price gouging may file a complaint with Attorney General Rokita’s office at indianaconsumer.com.
