Gasoline supplies held steady at Somerset stations
Somerset County gas dealers report adequate reserves to last into the new year despite statewide shortages. Local managers say supplies are sufficient and shipments are expected before year’s end, contrasting a state association claim that 25 percent of Pennsylvania stations are out of gas. Officials cite federal allocation guidelines limiting supply to 10 to 15 percent less than last year.

Energy chief predicts voluntary system may avert rationing
Washington AP reports Energy Secretary William E. Simon ordered gasoline rationing coupons printed but said a six week delay remains to decide if national rationing is needed. He hopes other conservation steps avert it while outlining new allocation rules and eased aviation fuel limits. Governor Shapp warns standby rationing would disproportionately affect low income families in Pennsylvania.

How Rationing Could Work For 118 Million Americans
The plan would issue gasoline coupons to all 118 million licensed drivers over 18, based on local needs, with coupons valid for 60 days and monthly totals around 32 to 35 gallons. Coupons would be bought and sold on a free market with no government trade involvement, and a nationwide printing of a three month supply is ordered as a precaution.
