Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales, 1991

Title: Fuel oil and kerosene sales [electronic resource]

  • Distribution Media: 3 1/2" diskette
  • SuDoc Number: E3.11/11-4:

Abstract: These data contain the 1991 survey results of the "Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report" (Form EIA-821). Prior to the 1989 report, the statistics appeared in the "Petroleum Marketing Annual" (PMA) for reference year 1988 and the "Petroleum Marketing Monthly" (PMM) for reference years 1984 through 1987. The 1991 edition marks the eighth annual presentation of the results of the ongoing "Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report" survey.

Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained an ASCII User's Guide and a self-extracting compressed file.

Data Conversion: The DOS self extracting file was decompressed and the files are available in their original ASCII formats. Extraneous ASCII characters were removed from the ASCII documentation, report and data table files. These "fixed" files were saved with .TXT file extensions. The ASCII data file was translated to ASCII CSV format and variable labels added. For more information about data conversion, see File Processing and Quality Control.

Minimum Software Requirements: (1) Software capable of reading ASCII text files. (2) Statistical software capable of importing ASCII CSV data files.

  • ASCII text - text files can be read by most file viewers and word processing software.
  • ASCII data - text data files can be imported into most statistical and database software. Data values may or may not use separators. Common separators are commas (ASCII CSV), tabs or spaces.

Files: DOS ASCII files contain carriage return characters. ASCII files do not contain cariage return characters. For information about downloading these files, see Downloading Tips
