Shapp Pushes Mandatory Gas Rationing Plan in Pa
Governor Milton Shapp said Pennsylvania should replace its voluntary gas rationing with a mandatory system based on state inspection stickers. He stated the voluntary approach is unfair and plans to ask the legislature next week to enact mandatory rationing. Shapp also urged electric trains from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh and pressed for a federal gasoline allocation program to supersede state plans. Rhode Island begins voluntary odd-even gas sales, while New Jersey officials warn shortages and seek more gasoline for March. Marathon Oil raises prices citing higher crude costs.
