Winter and spring gasoline prices show highest rise since Persian Gulf War
Article Abstract:
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) showed an 18.2% increase after seasonal adjustment in the U.S. city average price of gasoline during the 6-month period ending in May 1996. This represented the biggest 6-month increase since Jan 1991, during the Persian Gulf War. Pres Clinton requested that the Dept of Energy prepare a report on reasons for the price increase. This report was issued in June 1996. According to the report, the reasons for the price increase were a worldwide increase in crude oil prices and a rise in the resale price spread.
