Wisconsin fuel oil price and inventory final report: 1986-1987 heating season

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5698332
In August 1986, the US Department of Energy (DOE) provided the Wisconsin Division of State Energy and Coastal Management (DSECM) a grant to monitor the price and the inventories of No. 1, and No. 2 fuel oils within the state of Wisconsin from October 6, 1986 to May 4, 1987. This grant was a renewal of the grant received in previous heating seasons with some modifications. During the 1985-1986 heating season, the inventory survey included No. 4 oil. No company in Wisconsin reported an inventory of No. 4 fuel oil during 1985-1986 and most volunteered that they had not maintained an inventory of No. 4 fuel oil for many years. This year, earlier spot inquiries showed the same absence of No. 4 oil inventories; so No. 4 oil was dropped from the inventory survey in 1986-1987. The other modifications related to improving the geographical distribution of companies surveyed and increasing the number of major suppliers from which rack price data was obtained.
