Gasoline Relief From State Allocation Planned
Harrisburg reports relief for Pennsylvanians as 12 million gallons of gasoline should reach dealers by Wednesday. The 25.2 million gallons allocated last week by the Federal Energy Office aims to ease shortages, with station prices rising two cents per gallon starting Friday. The rest will be reserved for hardship cases or future dealer use as lines shorten and distributors push deliveries. Local dealers expect most stations to stay open, though some Luzerne County outlets will stay closed until Saturday. Gulf Oil confirms ongoing distribution efforts, aiming for full delivery by week’s end.
