Ford raises oil prices with new tariffs and taxes
Democrats in Congress criticize President Ford's plan to boost petroleum prices through a second $1 per barrel tariff on imported oil and new windfall taxes. The move would raise gas prices by at least 1.5 cents a gallon this summer and potentially six cents more over 18 to 24 months, with stronger effects on Hawaii and the East Coast.
