Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular benchmark dataset plus presentation/report format, distributed to purchasers (the results page directs buyers to a dataset download and a phone line for access)
Volume: Modest row count, high field depth: of order hundreds of responding dealers x 50-150 reported financial and operating metrics per edition, accumulated across a multi-year series run — a few tens of thousands of data points total, which is characteristic of a census benchmark rather than a big dataset and is precisely why it is valuable
Users: Respondent dealers in the low hundreds annually (typical for this class of accounting-firm industry survey against a US universe of a few thousand heating-oil and propane marketers); purchaser audience comprises dealers, lenders, private-equity buyers, trade associations and vendors, so paid seats are plausibly in the hundreds per edition
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and recurring — the 2026 edition is published and covers the just-completed April 2025 to March 2026 heating season, and this edition added new contributing data partners alongside the base survey, indicating the series is being extended rather than run off on inertia
Launched: Estimate 1990s-2000s for the survey series (it is a long-running annual accounting benchmark operated by a firm with a decades-long history serving this sector, and the current edition is numbered as a continuing series); the exact first-edition year is not stated on the page and should be confirmed with the publisher, since the dating matters for archive-depth pricing
