only in full one cent increments to
recoup increased costs of imports
and domestic crude petroleum on
a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Council Director John Dunlop
said "refiners and resellers can-
not increase their prices until they
have accumulated costs sufficient
to justify a one cent per gallon in-
crease. Retailers, in turn, can then
simultaneously increase their sell-
ing price to reflect the penny in-
crease charged to them."
Dunlop said that the council's
action would assure an automatic
cost pass-through at all levels of
distribution but "the discipline of
the penny increment rule will make
price changes more orderly, sim-
plify their measurement and help
consumers as well as officials of
the economic stabilization pro-
gram to monitor price ceilings."
CHARLES BINSTED, president
of the National Congress of Pe-
troleum Retailers, said the grant-
ing of the automatic pass-through3
would meet the major complaint of1
gasoline retailers 'about Phase 43
controls. i
Major petroleum companies have
been allowed to increase wholesale
costs of gasoline and other petro-
leum products to reflect higher
costs of petroleum imports and do-
mestic production, but retailers
have been prohibited from passing
through these costs without coun-
cil approval.
Meanwhile, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) proposed
a plan yesterday to limit deliveries
of gasoline to California cities that
could completely cut off supplies to
Los Angeles. The head of that ag-
ency immediately admitted that the
idea was "unreasonable."
RUSSELL TRAIN, director of the
EPA, said his agency was forced
to draw up the plan.
"Achieving reductions in gaso-
line use of 60 to 80 per cent or more
-as several major urban areas
may need to do by 1977 in order to
meet the law's national air quality
requirements - is almost certain- to
