Nov. 19, 2009 Home heating oil prices

by on Nov.19, 2009, under Oil Prices

The good news is prices have been falling since the market opened a couple of hours ago.  Hopefully all that will translate into lower home heating oil prices tomorrow.

Larsen Oil 503 281 0003   200g 2.28 400g 2.25 down .01
Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968   200g 2.35 400g 2.33 no change
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
11/18/09 Close 79.58 Crude   11/19/09 Close  77.71    down 1.87
11/18/09 Close 2.0505 Heating Oil   11/19/09 Close  2.0027    down .0478

Larsen Oil is down 1 cent per gallon from yesterday.   Hopefully it will be even lower tomorrow. 

Crude closed down 1.87 and heating oil closed down almost 5 cents, (.0478) so the price should drop in the morning .  We shall see.

Not sure why but the home heating oil price at Larsen Oil dropped 2 cents overnight, despite a rise in the wholesale price.  Hmm

Larsen Oil 503 281 0003   200g 2.29 400g 2.26 down .02
Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968   200g 2.35 400g 2.33 no change

11/17/09 Close 79.19 Crude   11/18/09 Close  79.58    up .39
11/17/09 Close 2.0609 Heating Oil   11/18/09 Close  2.0505    down .0104

I don’t know about you, but down is down in my book.  1 cent down is still down,  and I am hoping that down will be a theme for the week.  🙂

Nov. 17, 2009 Oil Prices Today

by on Nov.17, 2009, under Oil Prices

Well a big day yesterday.  Mike and Becca’s  beautiful baby girl Quinn Sabia was born.

Larsen Oil 503 281 0003   200g 2.31 400g 2.28 up .06
Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968   200g 2.35 400g 2.33 up .07
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
11/16/09 Close 78.78 Crude   11/17/09 Close  79.19    up .41
11/16/09 Close 2.03 Heating Oil   11/17/09 Close  2.0609    up .0309

Well, if you did not order yesterday,  you missed a good chance at that lower price.  Prices up today, 6 cents at Larsen Oil and 7 cents at Pulliam.  Lets hope for a reversal of that.  Unfortunately, the price rose a bit by the market close today.  I expect the price to go up in the morning.

Nov. 16, 09 Oil Prices for a blustery day

by on Nov.16, 2009, under Oil Prices

Good Morning!  Well, prices rose during after hours trading, darn it.  I hope that trend reverses itself. 

Todays prices are:

Larsen Oil 503 281 0003   200g 2.25 400g 2.22 down .03
Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968   200g 2.28 400g 2.26 down .01
——————————————————————————————————————————————————-
11/12/09 Close 76.65 Crude   11/16/09 Close  78.78    up 2.43
11/12/09 Close 1.9660 Heating Oil   11/16/09 Close  2.03    up .0647

Okay, heating oil at Larsen Oil is now back where it was when I bought mine, the second week of October.  Lets hope the price continues to fall.  I would like to buy more oil for a cheaper price.  I have discovered that if you clean, scrub, run up and down stairs and back and forth to the garage, the basement etc,  you can delay turning on the furnace.  🙂

OOPS!!!  Heating Oil and Crude rose today.  Unfortunately, prices will rise tomorrow, in my humble opinion.

Well, prices continued to drop after the market closed last night.  This morning heating oil was 2 cents down, opening at 1.9620, and crude opens at 76.68 which is down a nickel.  I am hoping the trend continues all day.

11/12/09 Close 1.9820 Heating Oil   11/13/09 Close  1.9660    down .02

Big drop in local home heating oil price overnight.  Price for 200 and 400 gallons dropped 8 cents.  It is almost as low as when I bought ours.  I bought 225 gallons at 2.25 per gallon.  I sure hope it continues to drop.  I will buy more if it does.:)  It is a chilly day today.  Stay warm and have a wonderful weekend.

well, the prices dropped, but barely.  I am not complaining though.  As long as the prices continue to drop, I won’t fuss to much.
