State officials announced Monday they plan to conduct price checks at gas stations around Massachusetts, saying they hope to prevent gouging as prices hover around the $4 per gallon mark.
Inspectors will look to ensure that street signs, posted pump signs and computer signs all register the same price for gas, while also trying to determine whether prices are appreciably higher than normal in a geographic area.
