Summary:During the period November 1, 1978 through May 1, 1979, the State of Rhode Island conducted, by agreement with the United States Department of Energy Energy Information Administration (EIA), a price monitoring survey analysis for the average price of Number 2 heating oil. A weekly survey was conducted from 46 selected retail oil dealers, 8 refiners, and 7 jobbers for weekly rack price. A high and low price was designated and a weekly average computed. Subject prices were transmitted in writing and by telephone to the Department of Energy, Region One Office in Boston, Massachusetts. Survey showed November posting average to be $.535 cents/gal and incremented increase to $.675 cents/gal on May 25, 1979. As required by Cooperative Agreement, two copies of data on average heating oil pricing was submitted to the Department of Energy. Copies of reporting figures and data are attached.
