Page 10/The Battalion/Tuesday, April 19, 1983 Lost profits to force gasoline price hikes United Press International LOS ANGELES — Oil indus try analyst Dan Lundberg pre dicts gasoline prices will keep rising at the pump because of the trend toward a balance be tween supply and demand. “Atter eight months of gaso line price cutting, a market tur naround may be at hand,” Lundberg said over the weekend. “The question is whether it could hold.” Retail gasoline dealers across the country lost profits when the 5 cent-per-gallon national gaso line tax went into effect April 1 and dealers will have to make up their losses, Lundberg said in his weekly Lundberg Letter.

Recent margin losses by deal ers and similar losses to inde pendent sellers who did not pass on the entire tax increase cannot be sustained for long, Lundberg said. Refining and marketing los ses since last July amounted to about $2.3 billion in the indus try, the newsletter said. “Candidates for survival will be turning this around, if possi ble,” Lundberg said. Gasoline demand is stronger this year than last and “sparks of economic recovery are promp ting analysts to expect a better balance between supply and de mand,” Lundberg said. The newsletter said members of the Organization of Pet roleum Exporting Countries appear to be adhering to price and production agreements and non-OPEC producers are not undercutting OPEC prices.
