Unleaded Gas Shortage Threat in 1981 Price Debate
An AP report funded by the oil industry warns unleaded gasoline shortages could arise if federal price controls on domestic oil production are not lifted. The Petroleum Industry Research Foundation notes slower U.S. consumption growth by 1981 but says there is little incentive to build efficient refineries to meet rising demand. Controls dating to Nixon era wage-price freezes and the 1973 Arab oil embargo limit refiners' profits and fuel allocation. The industry recently gained permission to pass higher refining costs to customers.
