Cooperative agreement for No. 2 heating oil pilot price data collection: Vermont State Energy Office end of survey report
The State, through the Vermont State Energy Office in Cooperative Agreement with DOE implemented a weekly Pilot Survey Program for residential No. 2 heating fuel prices. The purpose of this survey program was to collect weekly price data, calculate the statewide average, submit the results weekly to S. J. Seymour, Chief of Energy Data DOE Region I, Boston and publish the average prices to the public and the news media. The methodology used in collecting data was a spinoff of our monthly price survey which has been in place since July 1974. The sample size of the survey was developed at that time and was extracted from a statewide list of heating oil dealers. The selection of dealers was random with approximately 3 or 4 selected from each of the 14 counties for a total of 46. No emphasis was given as to population and or the sales volume of dealers in those counties. The dealer survey was conducted by telephone. The price of No. 2 heating oil in the pilot survey was the posted retail price for residential consumers excluding any credit and or discount practices. Continuous communications with the consuming public regarding fuel prices provided us with an ideal cross-check for the data collected in our survey. This provided us with survey price data validation. All information received through the survey was held to be confidential and we continue to treat it in that manner.
