Tariffs to Rise on Crude Oil in Three Monthly Increments
President Ford proposed tariff increases on crude oil in three $1 steps starting February 1, raising post April levels by $3. Refined petroleum imports face no rise on Feb 1, 60 cents on March 1, and a peak of $1.20 above present by April 1. Some Congress members, especially from New England, may seek to block the new tariffs.

Heating oil and gas taxes would raise regional costs
A regional summary notes Ford plan taxes oil imports at 3 per barrel, with a later 2 excise on domestic crude. In New England heating oil and electricity costs would rise sharply, with heating oil up to 10 cents per gallon and heating bills about 88 dollars per home, while electricity bills could climb 15 percent for utilities, urging exemptions for heating and generating oil.

They argued Ford's proposals would cost consumers $60 billion yearly, with half in higher taxes and half as excess profits for energy firms, and they supported gasoline rationing to curb use.
