Nation Still Drives On Imported Fuel
Washington reports that reliance on foreign oil has reached a record high as domestic production falls. Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb notes imports will hit about 7 million barrels per day this year, rising to late 1977 before Alaskan oil reaches the lower 48 states. He cites economic recovery boosting demand, and warns against vulnerability to possible oil embargoes. Arabs of OPEC account for about 37 percent of imports, with costs rising from $27 billion in 1975 to an estimated $35 billion in 1976.
