Refund Applications

Gulf Oil Corp./F.O. Fletcher, Inc., 3/20/98, RF300-6619

    F.O. Fletcher, Inc., sought an above volumetric refund in the Gulf 
Oil Corporation Refund proceeding. The DOE found that as an indirect 
purchaser of Gulf motor gasoline through Tesoro Oil Company, Fletcher 
was overcharged by greater than the volumetric level. However, the DOE 
also concluded that the firm had not shown injury at that level. 
Accordingly, the firm's refund was limited to the maximum mid-range 
presumption of $50,000, plus interest.

Merichem Company, 3/20/98, RG272-00529

    DOE denied an application filed by Merichem Company for a crude oil 
refund based on purchases of sodium cresylate and sodium sulfide. DOE 
found that neither product was eligible for a refund because they were 
not produced by a refinery.
