Federal Energy Office Deputy Administrator John Sawhill last week defended oil profits in general as "reasonable," but some of his aides harbor deep suspicions.

...American motoring season-has come, and every bit as welcome as the return of greenery and birds is the return of gasoline. The Federal Energy Office made it official last week: stocks are high and the first postembargo shipments of Arab oil will arrive within the month. But the FEO also issued a warning. Because domestic refineries do not have enough capacity to fill an unrestricted demand for gasoline there will be continuing shortages-4% in this quarter and up to 5% for the rest of 1974-unless drivers continue to conserve fuel...
