Americans Burn Gas at Record Pace in 1976 so Far
Government estimates show gasoline use rising in early 1976 with January at 6.4 million barrels daily, February over 7 million, and March about 6.7 million. Despite lower speeds and smaller cars, travel demand grows with more cars on the road and 107 million minor passenger cars registered in 1975. Officials caution data is incomplete, six months needed to declare a trend, as imports climb to 40 percent of oil consumption and vehicle miles traveled edge toward 1,400 billion for the year.
