Yea I just paid $4.69 a gallon a couple days ago. Been keeping the heat around 62-64 to avoid excess usage. Unfortunately it's how my hot water is heated, but it doesn't seem to kick it on too much extra.
You know, the BITOG way.Wow ^^ isnt worth you guys to buy contracts during the summer of each year, rather then pay spot price?
I used to do this all the time when I lived up north which is, in reality buying it cheap and keeping a "stash"

Not everyone has, wants or is allowed by code to have a zillion gallons of heating oil on hand.
We are self sufficient. We drill extract and refine our own.
Why are we not insulated from the world market.

I sure wouldn’t want. Occasionally the tanks give and leak, and then you have a mess and need the tanks pumped.
I have twin 250’s and need two or so fills for the winter. Ouch.
It's a pretty tough sell to complain about spot prices. Of course they're going to be painful.
In march of 2018 it exchange was .81 Euro, now it has been climbing to .92 Euro today.
He is talking about the dollar buying power , it's dropping . As far as everything else it's political . And the truth can't be said here it hurts feelings , I love feelings , it makes everything better . Psshhhh
We run out heat at 65-67. about four 1/2 fills of one tank across Winter.
How may gal/day are you using?
Should be a bit under 3gal/day ave sub freezing ambient if boiler is running well - which they often are not.
I am in an un- insulated 2 story log cabin. Wood stove is not working.
houses and cars.
Don't buy a house or a car. beyond that, epidemic driven shortages and silicon disasters.
Didn't see that coming. I bet the minimum wage improvements don't hurt enough to make a difference in the consumers wallet. Long overdue but phasing in at a bad time.
That’s a lot. I had one 250, and needed three fills for winter. In a 3,500 square foot house, in Stowe, VT, with three kids and the concomitant hot water (heated by the oil furnace) usage for baths and laundry.
But the house was new, 2x6 framed, well insulated, good windows, and very efficient.
I bought the contract, usually in July or August, and locked in 800 gallons for the year.
BTW residential oil tanks are 275gal (275H) with a usable capacity of ~ 250.
Oh there's an epidemic in this country all right
Our propane costs do not tend to be seasonal because of exports and the Petrochemical demand.

I got nervous and locked this year in at a max price of $3.20 a gallon.
Got oil two days ago... Glad I locked in.

It's called intolerance and ignorance.
