Re: Oil Contracts: Anyone lock in recently?

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!

I walked by the slomins guy at RF and they were at $3.54/gallon plus their service contract..

I usually do COD drops and get a service contract with a local company but if the price is good enough, I may just lock in..

I wish I had a crystal ball lol

Not yet, I have Slomins and have been calling since me service contract was renewing and they keep telling me they are not locking yet. I called yesterday and it's $3.99. The kiosk in the malls are just for new customers, which really is BS but whatever. I am going to call around again. The woman at Slomins said she is hoping within two weeks it lowers and they can offer locks.... Waiting patiently and thankfully don't need a drop until October !!

Has anyone done a coop? I did one years ago (can't remember the name though but don't think they are in business anymore).

Heat USA.. they are offering $3.65/gallon (no lock in) they fluctuate with the market.. and a free service and maintenance contract..

I plan on going back to Heat USA after my year lock with Petro is up.

The oil market is just too volitile right now. I'll probably float with Heat until the pricing for the rate locks goes down. For instance just a few weeks ago oil was trading at over $100 a barrel. Now its hovering around 80.

I trust your advice.. Do you think I'd be better off starting with Heat USA? I need a service/maintenance contract but I'm a little hesitant to lock into anything right now with the way things are going..

If you don't want to lock anywhere but need a service contract, Heat is the best outlet. You get a free service contract... but aren't locked into a year contract.

So you can sign up tomorrow, and cancel a month from now.

I use Heat when I am in between locking with other carriers.

Yeah, I like that. I usually do COD but need that service contract.

Thanks again! Chat Icon
