PURPOSE
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form EIA-888, On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey, is a mandatory survey
consisting of two parts: Schedules A and B.
• Schedule A is designed to collect data on the cash price (including taxes) of self-serve, on-highway diesel fuel. Schedule A
is conducted on a weekly basis.
• Schedule B is designed to collect total annual sales volume for on-highway diesel fuel sold at your station during a full calendar year. Schedule B is conducted only once when your station was selected in a new sample for the survey, and the
data are collected strictly for internal statistical purposes and will not be published.
The data are used to calculate average diesel fuel oil price estimates at the national, regional, and select State levels which are
vital to the trucking industry and shippers throughout the United States. These data are point-in-time estimates as of 8:00 a.m.
Monday.
