Decker, M

Rising natural gas prices are giving fuel oil dealers a competitive edge in marketing to industrial and residential customers. Gas prices increased 18.5% vs. 9% for heating oil in 1981; in the first half of 1982, gas rose 14% while oil fell 4.8%. The Cabot Consulting Group forecasts that by 1985, the price of natural gas will exceed that of oil in traditional heating-oil regions. Gas utilities are already complaining about industrial fuel-switching in some areas. Another opportunity for oil marketers is to encourage homebuilders to put oil systems in the homes of tomorrow.
