The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries will raise the price of a barrel of oil sold to big oil companies by 38 cents. The American consumer, in turn, will probably end up paying one cent more per gallon of gasoline. Under the new policy, oil sold to independent and state-ru- n oil companies will decrease by 40 cents per barrel. The cost reduction for oil companies not having their own production capabilities is in line with the OPECs expressed desire to increase sales to independent operators while bypassing the large oil conglomerates. on RANGOON, e moorozakeR moooRakeR r.i.Hng RESTAURANT Steak Lobster Scampi Prime Rib King d Bill was to calm Mm down some.
