Book excerpt: All of the conclusions presented in the September Report (TID-28102; EAPA 4:2494) remain valid. In summary, it is concluded, as FEA did in the September Report, that motor gasoline is not, and will not be through 1979, in short supply; that competition and market forces are adequate to protect consumers from undue price increases; and that exempting motor gasoline from price and allocation controls will not have an adverse impact on the supply of any oil or refined petroleum product subject to the EPAA and will not result in inequitable prices for any class of user of such oil or product. Finally, it is concluded that the exemption of motor gasoline from allocation and price controls is consistent with and provides for the attainment, to the maximum extent practicable, of the objectives of section 4(b)(1) of the EPAA. After decontrol, the Department of Energy will continue to survey gasoline supply, demand, and prices and analyze and publish the available information. Should this continuing survey and analysis reveal that the prices or supply of motor gasoline are such as to invalidate any of the findings of this report, the Secretary would consider complete or partial reimposition of price or allocation controls.
