Rokita Launches Online Portal to Track Indiana Gas Prices

Source: Jeremy Hogan / Getty INDIANAPOLIS — Hoosiers can now utilize a new public portal to track real-time fuel prices at Indiana gas stations. On Tuesday, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced the launch of IN Fuel Watch , an online portal that provides live metrics on gasoline prices at over 4,600 gas stations across the state. Indiana residents will be able to search and filter stations by price, city, or name. Listed will be the average gas prices and changes in price since the suspension of the Indiana gas sales tax. The website also includes “color-coded indicators for each station.” Green will be for stations dropping prices more than 17 cents below the April 8 level, yellow means moderate changes, and red will represent any increases. Rokita’s office said the data will help their consumer protection division “monitor the market and potentially investigate retailers with unjustifiably high prices.” “Hoosiers deserve clear, accessible information about gas prices in their communities,” Rokita said in a press release. “IN Fuel Watch gives you the ability to check local prices and see how they compare across the state.” RELATED: Gov.
