English term or phrase: heating oil weights
Heating fuel demand has been weak across the US due to a relatively warm winter.
For the 26-week period October 1, 2005 - March 31, 2006, warmer than normal conditions prevailed for 19 of the 27 weeks, for the nation as a whole.
Degree days (measured on the basis of ***heating oil weights***) have been 11% warmer than normal and 8% warmer than last year over this 27-week period.
