But the promising climb turned into another tailspin when fuel prices began to rise, and Pan Am wound up 1973 with an $18.4 million loss. In the last three months of 1973, fuel leaped 8.8? per gal, to 23.3?, adding $31.4 million to Pan Am's bills. This year the company predicts that fuel will average more than 35? per gal., lifting the company's expenditures...
