The problem of lack of proper energy planning to meet demand has always affected the provision of adequate, clean and affordable energy in many countries and cities especially in a fast growing state capital like Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja in Nigeria. The objective of this study was to determine the petroleum products utilization pattern in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and to make projections of its demand in the FCT from 2009 to 2035. A total of 520 questionnaires (household =150, Services =150, Industry =50 and Transport =170) were administered with 507 valid responses representing a 97.5% response rate. The language, content and design of the questionnaire made it easily understood and placed limited time burdens (10 minutes) on the respondents.
