Washington AP report details federal oil and gasoline austerity effective immediately. Home thermostats must drop six to ten degrees versus 1972 norms, with hardship exceptions allowed. Service stations face reduced gasoline allocations, airlines get less aviation fuel, and electric plants receive limited residual fuel oil. Priority goes to essential services and military needs. Hardship definitions cover cold homes or hurting businesses, while a standby gasoline rationing system awaits decision. The administration emphasizes voluntary conservation alongside formal limits.
