Sales Dipped
Slightly in 2011
EIA’s annual report
pegs residential sales
at 3.6 billion gallons
THE LATEST ANNUAL REPORT ON FUEL OIL
& Kerosene Sales from the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) shows a
continuing slide in heating oil sales in 2011,
although many states saw little change in
total sales from 2010.
EIA reports that U.S. sales of No. 2 oil
in the residential sector totaled 3.64 billion
gallons, which marked a 5 percent decrease
from 2010. Sales in the six New England
states totaled 1.64 billions gallons – a 6.4
percent decrease from 2010. In the Central
Atlantic region, sales were also 1.64 billion
gallons, a 6.3 percent decrease.
Four New England states actually expe-
rienced small gains in total sales between
2010 and 2011: Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and Vermont. Most states along
the East Coast experienced small decreases
in sales, while a few states experienced
notable drops. In New Jersey, sales dropped
13 percent, from 215 million gallons in 2010
to 187 million gallons in 2011. Maryland
saw a 19 percent decline in sales from 2010
to 2011, from 135 million gallons to 109
million gallons.
