FEA rules may cut heating oil costs in east and north
The Federal Energy Administration expects new rules adopted Monday to stabilize or lower heating oil prices in February for eastern and northern states, with potential $360 million annual savings if imported oil prices stay steady. If import prices rise, costs in the North and East should not rise. Midwest, Southwest and West may see offsetting hikes paid by oil companies. A spillover could lift gasoline prices, but competition may keep them around 53 cents a gallon.
