Petroleum Marketing Monthly, September 1985. [Contains glossary]
Preliminary data for September 1985 indicate that refiners' crude oil acquisition costs are continuing to decline slowly. The decline in both domestic and imported refiners' crude costs resulted in a drop in the composite acquisition cost of 6 center per barrel (0.2%). In the petroleum products markets, preliminary data (summarized in the table below) show that total refiner/gas plant operator sales of selected petroleum products declined 2.7% from the August sales level. While sales of motor gasoline, residual fuel oil, aviation gasoline, and No. 2 diesel were down in September, sales of No. 2 fuel oil, kerosene, No. 1 distillate, No. 4 fuel oil, and propane showed seasonal increases. In addition, sales of kerosene-type jet fuel rose up slightly. Refiner/gas plant operator prices rose in September for most petroleum products at the retail and wholesale levels. At the retail level, the three grades of motor gasoline were the only products showing price decreases. At the wholesale level, prices of motor gasoline and aviation gasoline declined. Wholesale prices for all the other products increased in September, with the No. 2 distillate price up 4.4 cents per gallon. The September petroleum marketing activity is summarized. 17 figs., 75 tabs.
