Fine don't help me...

Ok I'm doing my Business Statistics II term project and I need to build a model that explains Gas Sales (in Ontario). So I need a bunch of independent variables that explain the fluxuations in gas sales.
So Far I Have:
CPI for Gas (price up => demand down)
CPI for transport (bus cost down => demand down)
CDN/US exchange rate (cdn $ down => cost up => demand down)

Can you guys brainstorm some other variables I can search out...thx

hmmmm. see Natural Gas Model Description

e.g.

KQHMPUS = Housing stocks, millions
NGRCPUSX = Residential natural gas demand per household per day
NGRCPUS = As-reported total residential natural gas demand per day
ZGHDPUS = Gas-weighted heating degree-days
ZGHNPUS = Normal gas-weighted heating degree-days
NGINPUSX = Initial estimate for industrial gas consumption per day (billion cubic feet per day)
NGEUDUS = Natural gas price to electric utilities ($ per million Btu)
RFEUDUS = Residual fuel price to electric utilities ($ per million Btu)
NGNUPUS = Gas consumption for power generation by nonutilities
QSIC = Gas-weighted industrial production (Index)

yeah that's on the right lines, I was thinking of looking for natural gas and/or diesel prices....any ideas?

that site has dozens of variable -- try obvious ones like weather, too
