Carter gasoline rationing plan defeated by House vote
The House voted 246-159 to kill President Carter s standby gasoline rationing plan amid fears some drivers would get a disproportionate share and amid concerns over how much fuel would reach different states. White House lobbying failed to sway decisive votes. Carter signaled a comment today as a new plan could be proposed, but no deadline requires one.

He argued removal of controls will lift gasoline by five to seven cents per gallon by 1981 and raise inflation about 0.3 percent, while noting no industry plot behind price differences.
