Highway robbery oil price shocks New England Electric
Boston based New England Electric System reports to UPI that the Federal Energy Office asked it to buy a cargo of oil at nearly four times last month’s price. Vice president John Stevens says residual oil is offered above $20 a barrel, versus about $6 last month, calling the price highway robbery. He cites a telegram expected from federal energy chief William Simon and notes similar pressure on Boston Edison Co. The oil, from a foreign source via Coastal States, is described as a spot cargo as part of 4.5 million barrels of tanker capacity.
