Ford proposes ending oil price controls raising gas costs
President Ford calls for phasing out petroleum price controls over 30 months to boost domestic oil supplies and cut conservation limits. Administration officials say the plan could lift gas prices about seven cents a gallon and push overall consumer prices up about 1 percent, costing the typical family roughly $200 annually in higher energy costs. Congress will review within five days of formal submission, with a veto threat on extending the Petroleum Allocation Act. The plan foresees eliminating the two tier system and setting oil at about $13.50 a barrel by January 1978 when controls end.
