Title: Petroleum market shares: regional sales of No. 2 distillate fuel oil to ultimate consumers 1972 through 1975

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7116690

This report presents regional results of the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) survey of firms that sold distillate and residual fuel oil to ultimate consumers during the period January 1, 1972 through December 31, 1975. The survey covers the sales of No. 2 distillate fuel for home heating, commercial, and miscellaneous industrial fuel applications. Sales of No. 2 diesel fuel for highway use by refiner-marketers are included. Since the survey was designed primarily to monitor market shares in the critical heating oil market, independent truckstop operators were not surveyed; their diesel sales, therefore, are not represented in the survey results. The survey results, however, establish a consistent time series for measuring trends in the market share position of refiner-marketers versus independent fuel oil distributors in the No. 2 distillate market.
