The National LP-Gas Association reports that sales of LP-gas rose 4.0% in 1976 to an estimated 15.81 billion gal. Residential and commercial sales accounted for 7.13 billion gal, a 1.6% increase; sales to the chemical industry 4.41 billion, 5.6% more; the engine-fuel market 1.17 billion, up 0.5%; and utility sales 0.45 billion, a 12.0% rise. Industrial sales declined 1.3% to 1.07 billion gal in 1976. The ''other'' category, including agricultural uses and feedstock for the manufacture of synthetic gas, jumped 16.8% to 1.60 billion gal. U.S. production of LPG declined 0.4% to 18.02 billion gal, while imports rose 12.3% to 1.94 billion gal. The difference between production and sales is accounted for by the use of LPG in gasoline blending, inventory additions, and exports.
