Conferees OK Plan To Cut Gasoline Prices
Washington nine days before price controls a plan from house and senate conferees on energy would cut gasoline prices by about four cents per gallon under a compromise oil pricing scheme. The measure sets a path for the bill's completion by Monday while Ford's stance looms, with oil price limits and inflation adjustments shaping the initial savings and future oil production incentives. The plan would set domestic oil at an average about 7.55 dollars per barrel, then allow gradual increases, potentially lowering gas and heating oil early but rising later as inflation climbs.
