The Think Tank

Hello.

I am happy to report that the prices are still dropping.  And the prices have reverted to the way they have been for 2 years, with Best Oil having the best prices.

the prices at First Call/Discount Oil/ Larsen Oil have not changed since the last post

the price for 50 gallons of heating oil at Best Oil is 217.

100 gal is 3.30 per gal

150 gal is 3.20 per gal

200 gal is 3.04 per gal

400 gal is 3.02 per gal

600 gal is 2.99 per gal

I am going to remain in my waiting for under 3.00 gallon to come true.  Hope it happens !!!!!

well, the price foroi today at Best Oil is:

400 gallons is now 3.08 per gallon.  300 gallons is 3.11.   200 gallons is 3.25 per gallon.  100 gallons is 3.35 per gallon.

50 gallons is 215.00

First Call McCall/Discount Oil/ Larsen Oil :

400 gallon is 3.07       300 gallons is 3.09      200 gallons is 3.11

I have to say I was pretty stunned by this.  Last year McCalls etc was no less than 20 cents per gallon HIGHER each time I checked.  Today they are a cent LOWER.

well, the price today at Best Oil is 3.12 cents per gallon for 400 gallons.  Been here for several days,  Hoping it drops lower.  I will wait a few more days before I call to order.  I hope to wait til Thanksgiving to turn on the furnace.  Cross your fingers that my Indian Summer continues.

On July 3, 400 gallons was 3.50 per gallon.  Last Friday it was 3.47 per gallon when purchasing 400 gallons,  Today it is 3.33 per gallon when I ordering 400 gallons.  I hope this down trend continues.   I will need to order in a week or two. The prices quoted are from Best Oil Portland.  They have consistently been lower by several cents for the last couple of years.

hello,

been absent for a while, but I have been checking.

Today, July 3 the prices of heating oil are as follows:

Best Oil is                                                  3.37 for 400 gatraons

First Call/Discount/Larsen Oil is       3.50 for 400 gallson

Deluxe Oil is                                             3.50 for 400 gallons

the above prices are for cash/check.  Everyone seems to be adding .10 cents per gallon for debit / credit

That seems to be the newest gambit of the big bank/ big corporation assault on the average person.  FIRST : the banks begin with credit cards.  Cheap, easy way to afford what you want before you can REALLY afford it.  Once everyone is hooked on that idea, the interest prices begin jumping  higher and higher.  Now they are usurius because the big banking lobby convinced Congress to allow them to charge whatever interest rates they want.  THEN they come up with the DEBIT card.  This is BETTER THAN CASH, better than checks, better than travelers checks because they cannot be stolen.  OH REALLY ?  The push was on, with some places like Costco gas stations not even taking cash.  THEN this little idea.  IF you do not use cash or checks , and insist on using the newfangled beall and endall credit or debit card (the invention of the big banks/big corporation) it will cost you dearly.  Wow.
