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.

Survey conducted requisitioned data from retail dealers delivery - more than 70% of the total state supply. As a result, an excellent composite of pricing was identified and utilized by both State and Federal agencies.
