This report summarizes No. 2 heating oil data for Wisconsin collected from October 1982 to May 1983, by the Wisconsin Division of State Energy (DSE) in accordance with provisions of a grant by the US Department of Energy. The DSE regularly surveyed a representative sample of fuel oil dealers in Wisconsin to provide the State and the US Department of Energy with a current, consistent and reliable set of monthly figures on No. 2 fuel oil prices to residential users and end of month inventory data. To assist in the current survey, the US Department of Energy provided a list of companies for the sample, estimation formulas, sample survey forms and other technical assistance. The survey has provided the DSE with information about price changes and price projections and estimations of available inventory. The sample consists of 36 of the 79 companies comprising the list provided by the US Department of Energy. Sampling weights provided by the US Department of Energy were used to compute statewide average prices and changes in inventory. The nonrandom, small size of the sample may limit the expected statistical accuracy of reported prices and inventories. Despite its limitations, the survey does provide an indication of relative trends over this heating season.
