Abstract

Since 1973 the price of imported crude oil has escalated from $3.00 a barrel (42 gallons) to an average of over $35 a barrel in 1981. Our national bill for imported oil in 1970 was $3 billion, whereas our current expenditure for imported oil exceeds $81 billion. Within this same time period U.S. crude oil imports more than doubled, while import costs increased twenty-seven fold. This astronomic increase in crude oil prices has helped to reduce the value of American dollars abroad and has served to exacerbate recession and inflation at home.
