UPi A government agency Thursday studied the pricing policies of oil companies in this area after gasoline prices were stabilized following a two-week "gas war." Service station operators here charged oil companies with selling gasoline to stations in nearby Port Matilda cheaper than the State College stations were getting it. Oil company officials could not be reached for comment immediately. Nearly all gas stations in State College some 30 of them closed last week at the height of the strike. It happened when stations in Port Matilda were selling regular gas at 21.9 cents a gallon while State College prices were 28.9. The dealers said the mass closing, which started on Aug.

15, was designed to force oil companies to equalize tank wagon prices. The State College dealers reopened on Aug. 17, selling at the war price of 21.9. That lasted until early this week when 'prices throughout the area were stabilized at 26.9.
