The State of Rhode Island, under DOE Grant DE-FC01-87EI-20475 implemented a program to monitor prices and inventory levels of No. 2 heating oil during the period October 5, 1987 to May 2, 1988. The residential and wholesale prices were collected from the same list of companies used in the 1986--87 heating season with the addition of one company for wholesale prices. Retail prices only were obtained from thirteen dealers. Four dealers provided both retail and wholesale prices. Wholesale prices only were obtained from eight sources. Thus twenty-five contacts were made each week or bi-weekly, according to the schedule established by DOE, to provide the price information from the state. Distillate stocks within the state were ascertained as per the required schedule from nine sources, representing the majority of stocks. In one case, two terminals are involved and amounts added.
