Prices for gasoline and heating oil have risen faster than Reagan era forecasts after price decontrol. Exxon Texaco Shell and others announced new 3 to 5 cent increases amid a broader industry trend, with heating oil potentially reaching 1.35 to 1.40 a gallon by season end and gasoline near 1.60 nationally. Analysts cite cold weather and supply constraints as drivers.

CAB approves air fare hike
The Civil Aeronautics Board authorized immediate fare increases to offset rising fuel costs. A 3.8 percent rise could apply to current maximums, with the New York to Chicago coach fare moving from 177 to 184 dollars. Airline deregulation fosters competition, but fuel climbs prompted relief requests from 26 member airlines led by the Air Transport Association and American Airlines.
