Survey of No. 2 heating oil prices and inventories at the retail and wholesale levels for October 1, 1984-May 1, 1985. State Heating Oil Program final report. [In Vermont, 1982-1983 and 1984-1985]

This heating season was the least eventful we have experienced since fuel oil prices began their dramatic rise six years ago. This lack of activity in the area of fuel prices was helped along by the absence of any extreme cold spells during the winter months. The winter weather was not only mild but also late in arriving. In fact it was the end of January before prices began to recover from the slide which began in September. The potential existed for a mid-winter price spike similar to last year's, but slightly higher primary stock levels (API) combined with lack of severe cold weather successfully eliminated that threat and by mid-February the uneventful heating season was already winding down.
