Chevron Corrects Erroneous Bloomberg Story

<<A Chevron spokesman was severely misquoted today in a Bloomberg wire story headlined, ''Internet Campaign Urges U.S. Boycott to Protest Gasoline Prices.''

Chevron wishes to set the record straight, since Bloomberg has declined a request to correct its egregious error.

In the Bloomberg story about the recent run-up in gasoline prices, the Chevron spokesman was quoted as follows, ''If motorists don't want to pay higher prices, they shouldn't drive.''

Our spokesman never made that statement, nor did he say anything remotely like it.

The Bloomberg reporter apparently misunderstood an attempt to explain the marketplace factors which affect pricing, and, to the best of our knowledge, tried to reduce our spokesman's explanation to a short-hand quote, but failed completely. >>
