Got fuel oil last week for the house. 2.69 a gallon not to bad
Need it for hot water. At least it was cheaper than winter time.

You always want to fill the tank in late august before winter also ask if you can pre purchase fuel let's say you have a 1000 gallon tank purchase the 1000 gallons in August but not have it delivered till December January

@dale74 they do have that option.
Well, I believe that they do because if you purchase more than 1000 gallons you save $.30 a gallon. So I assume that that would not have to be all delivered at one time. I have two 275 gallon tanks I believe. Or is it 250 I’m but sure. Now, if I go get it myself which I have, I can get it cheaper.

Next question would be is it stored in like your basement or in a outside storage area

@Jonjdw well that definitely limits storage options unless you have a large entry into your basement where you could add another tank a lot of times heating oil can be stored in a tote which you can buy those for about 50 bucks for a 300 gallon tote.
I used to hate how diesel fuel prices would increase dramatically so I would buy diesel a thousand gallons at a time and I would fill up three 330 gallon totes. At $3 that would be about three grand but that would take me two grand on fuel during the peak which would reach almost five dollars a gallon. Plus I had the convenience of filling up at home and I could use it in either truck or my tractor. Likewise if I could get an extra dollar off back before Kroger put all the limits on the number of gallons then I would save even more money.

@dale74 I don’t know if anybody that has more than two tanks for oil. Other places I’ve lived that had only one. My mother-in-law‘s house has one. And if I were to order a large amount, they could not do it all at one time because it takes time for it to go from one tank to the other tank.
