Gasoline supply debates and rising power costs
A spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute notes uncertain gasoline supply while motorists drive more, gas at record levels, and pollution controls in earlier years allegedly cut mileage by 20 percent.

Elwood Council Faces Protest and Budget Talk
The Elwood council faced upheaval as Rev Muffin walked out amid remarks on council behavior. Members debated a new president after Bill Brown’s resignation, tabled property purchases for parking and sewage, and discussed annexation rules. A water and sewer extension resolution restricts future lines without council input, while outside-city inquiries must seek annexation. Oil market notes warned of peak distillate demand this winter and limited refinery growth, with Mobil’s Joliet refinery cited as a large project on the horizon.
