Will Gas Rationing Begin In Pa.?
Rendell Urges Fuel Conservation

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Gasoline rationing or a temporary break from the state's 31-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax could lie ahead for Pennsylvania motorists if the gas crisis brought on by Hurricane Katrina gets much worse.
Gov. Ed Rendell raised those possibilities today at a Harrisburg news conference where he urged Pennsylvanians to carpool and take other steps to conserve gasoline.
He said his administration is considering more drastic steps that could become necessary. Rendell said his administration is expecting gasoline prices that can exceed $3 a gallon, and spot fuel shortages that have occurred elsewhere.
In order to temporarily lift the state gas tax, the governor said he would have to call the Legislature into special session and obtain its approval. But he noted that such a move could seriously disrupt funding for highway and bridge work across the state.
If gasoline supplies are disrupted and shortages occur, he said the state could require fuel rationing.
