The Data Planet repository includes many indicators related to prices of and expenditures on commonly used fuels in the United States, primarily sourced from the United States Energy Information Administration, as well as other agencies such as the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Statistics range from the price of heating oil, electricity, and gasoline by grade to the type of fuels used in housing units and expenditures on housing fuels. The repository also includes data from the EIA State Energy Data System (SEDS), which provides tens of thousands of datapoints describing trends in energy production, consumption, prices, and expenditures by state.
