the August 2023, EIA Short-Term 

Energy Outlook (EIA releases the 

Outlook monthly). The representative 

average unit after-tax cost for propane is 

based on the U.S. residential sector 

prices found in the Annual Energy 

Outlook 2023, AEO2023) (March 16, 

2023). The representative average unit 

after-tax cost for kerosene is derived 

from its price relative to that of heating 

oil, based on the 2010 to 2013 averages 

of the U.S. refiner price to end users, 

which include all the major energyconsuming sectors in the U.S. for these 

fuels. The source for these price data is 

the July 2023, Monthly Energy Review 

DOE/EIA–0035(2023/7). The ShortTerm Energy Outlook, the Monthly 

Energy Review, and the Annual Energy 

Outlook are available on the EIA 

website at https://www.eia.doe.gov. For
