Schumer stopped at the Kwik Fill on North Avenue in Owego to talk about rising gas prices.

He wants the Federal Trade Commission to investigate, and the federal government to release oil reserves to bring down prices.

Schumer says some businesses may be colluding on gas prices.

Senator Charles Schumer says, "It's very possible, as I said. Even though a few of the companies have no oil from Venezuela or the Middle East, their prices go up the same time the others go up."

Schumer also released a list of the gas stations with the lowest prices in Tioga County.

He encourages buyers to shop around before stopping to buy gas.
