Amoco announced a gasoline rationing program for its 31,000 retail stations while Cities Service raised prices across the board. Texaco predicted possible nationwide run outs this summer. Kerr-McGee cut self service pumps in Oklahoma City, and local governments struggle to renew bulk supply contracts. Airlines and trucking firms report shortages, with TWA and Delta citing fuel stress. An economist notes no refinery construction amid rising consumption and price controls.
