Recent Oil Prices
Anyone recently get a delivery...?
We weren't planning on turning on our heat for a while, but my grandfather is visiting in a few weeks from Florida and he is old and used to the warmth, so we got a delivery today becuase I heard prices were down.
Last week, my quote was $3.43
Today...$3.07

Re: Recent Oil Prices
as long as i keep seeing the price of a barrel of oil going down, i'm going to hold out as long as i can. i figure i can last another two weeks before i would need a delivery. keeping fingers crossed that its well below $3.00 a gallon by then.

Re: Recent Oil Prices
Just called PETRO today as we are newhomeowners and need something.
Contract is 110 for 1 year w/ 3 payment options.
Variable rate which is currently at 3.24 a gal. No ceiling or bottom w/ this plan.
Fixed rate which is at 3.59, no fluctuating, but if oil goes significantly lower we dont benefit.
And ceiling rate which I think we would go with. This was a cap at 3.94 a gal, with the current rate at 3.38. At least here we have a safety net, but still take advantage of the lower prices. Its .14 different than the fixed, but w/ a 230 gal tank, its about 32.00 difference.
Anyone have any estimate how many gallons a day do you use w/ oil? Or rather what is your experiance with this as there are so many variables.
Thanks

When we went with Petro in 2007, we used the variable rate and received 3-4 deliveries during our contract!

Re: Recent Oil Prices
We are locked in at $4.59 a gallon right now with General Benit, and we are looking into breaking our contract and find a cheaper price or call the company you posted for COD.
Does the COD company offer any type of contract with it in case you have problems with your boiler or need a cleaning?
Thanks,
Scott

Re: Recent Oil Prices
Okay dumb question. What does C.O.D stand for? I called Slomins yesterday and they wanted $3.749 to renew with them so I am seriously interested to know what C.O.D means.

Re: Recent Oil Prices
we locked in already but the prices are lower now. could we renegotiate the contract? has anyone done that? it says on the contract to cancel it it is $500. that may be worth it depending on a new lock in price I get at another company. would they renegotiate to keep our business?
