Energy Policy Act Signals Small Gasoline and Heating Oil Cuts
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act approved by Congress and signed by President Ford aims to trim oil prices. Estimated cuts include about three cents per gallon for gasoline and heating oil, with a reduction in US crude price from 8.75 to 7.66 per barrel and a removed $2 import fee. Projections suggest two to three cent relief, likely temporary, amid phased end to price controls over 40 months. US crude production falls to 8.3 million barrels daily, with imports about 40 percent of demand, and Middle East supply linked to broader regional tensions and possible oil cutoff if conflict widens.
