OSTI ID:6705858

The preliminary statistics for May 1984, summarized in the table below, show that total refiner/gas plant operator sales of selected petroleum products (measured in gallons per day) increased by 2.3% compared with final April sales. Increases in sales were reported for the three grades of motor gasoline, both aviation fuels, No. 2 diesel fuel, and both grades of residual fuel. As expected, sales of four seasonal fuels (No. 2 fuel oil, kerosene, No. 1 distillate, and propane) declined in May, as did sales of No. 4 fuel oil. Refiner/gas plant operator price changes were mixed in May. Motor gasoline retail prices rose, as did those for kerosene-type jet fuel, No. 1 distillate, No. 2 diesel fuel, No. 4 fuel oil, and high-sulfur residual fuel. Refiner/gas plant operator wholesale prices decreased for motor gasoline, No. 4 fuel oil, low-sulfur residual fuel, and propane. Wholesale prices for the other products increased. The May sales activity for each of the principal product groups is tabulated.
