Michigan Residential Heating Oil Survey, Winter 1985-1986. Final Report

摘要

This report summarizes information on home heating oil prices and inventories in Michigan over the 1985/86 heating season. From October through May, participating dealers/distributors were polled for their current residential and wholesale price of No. 2 home heating oil. Primary stock (inventory) data was also collected from select bulk terminals and refineries. This information was transmitted to the US Department of Energy (DOE), Energy Information Administration, biweekly (each week during December through February) using an electronic mail system. Michigan's participation in this program started in 1979. In addition to assisting the Energy Information Administration meet its Congressional mandate of providing an accurate and timely energy profile nationwide, the state has made valuable use of the price information by establishing its own data base based on week-current figures. The DOE has provided grants to 14 states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachussetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Oregon) for the purpose of meeting the costs of regular collection of prices and stock levels.
