gas, or petroleum distillate sold and the price at
which it was offered for sale in the usual course of
the seller's business immediately prior to the energy
emergency; or
(B) the amount charged grossly exceeds the price at
which the same or similar crude oil, gasoline, natural
gas, or petroleum distillate was readily obtainable by
other purchasers in the area to which the declaration
applies.

of paragraph (1) has occurred, there also shall be taken into
account, among other factors, whether the price at which the
crude oil, gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillate was
sold reasonably reflects additional costs, not within the
control of the seller, that were paid or incurred by the
seller.

report information related to the wholesale price of crude oil,
gasoline, natural gas, or petroleum distillates to the Federal Trade

or indirectly, to use or employ, in connection with the purchase or

disruption of the national distribution system for crude oil, gasoline,
natural gas, or petroleum distillates (including such a shortage
related to a major disaster (as defined in section 102(2) of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
