Oil Prices
Crude Oil prices vs. local heating oil prices
- 2022 Jan 19 Oil Price January 19, 2022Sue
Last Friday I emailed Best Oil PDX to order 200 gallons of fuel oil. 4.12 a gallon. I made a mistake not buying all the seasons oil back in October for 3.50 gallon. So, I ordered online 200 more gallons. Did not hear from them, Sat, Sun, Mon, or Tuesday. I thought it odd and unusual but it was a weekend, and MLK Day on MOnday, so today Wednesday I called them. First call, phone picked up and hung up immediately. Called again, phone picked up and female voice screamed we cannot answer the phone right now you fucking idiot. Well, ….. so I called Pulliam Petroleum and ordered 200 gallons. It was .02 cents cheaper no big deal but at least they did not screech and call me names. So, I guess it will be Pulliam for us from now on. But criminently, 1500.00 for 400 gallons. That is the MOST we have ever paid. I will be checking regularly to see what the prices are, AND I will try to fill up the tank at cheaper prices to avoid this problem in the future.

I bought our oil the eight of October. I bought 400 gallons, it was 2.14 per gallon. 856.00
Not the most, not the least, but a good enough price. I will buy more in a bit, if the price stays low, and fill the tank up. I need to measure but I think I had about a hundred gallons left in the tank. We like to turn the furnace on not before Halloween. that is my usual day. Sometimes, I can delay til Thanksgiving, but the temps turned quite cool, with lows in low 30’s and highs only in mid 40’s so it was chilly. Turned on the furnace on 10 24, 2020. 🙂 A week early. Some say the weather patterns that are setting up, very closely resemble 2008. We had a cold December, below freezing for several weeks. And then a LOT of snow. Unfortunately, it turned to rain on Christmas Eve and Christmas day was a MESS. Hoping for some gorgeous snow, but not a mess. 🙂

so, oil prices fell on the stock market yesterday to below zero. Never happened before.  And heating oil prices dropped 3 cents a gallon. That makes zero sense. It would seem they should have dropped much more significantly than that. But here it is for today:

well, wow. Pretty big drop today. Down 9 cents a gallon, when you buy 200 gallons. From 2.01 gallon to 1.92 gallon. Significant savings. Since I do not think the economic news will improve in the next several days, I hope this price continues to drop. I will keep checking.

WOW. Prices down today   50 gallons down 6 cents.  Down across the board. That is a good thing. Going to fill the tank up soon. There is a silver lining.

Well, the President met with the oil company leaders today and promised them financial payments to off set their losses during the pandemic. Geez, they really needed that.
SO, of course the prices we pay went up again.

Stock Market went up 1600 points today  thanks to (supposedly) stimulus checks going out, and loans etc supposedly being ready to help business owners etc.  So naturally (immediately) heating oil prices, and probably gasoline prices went up. This is a small jump, I am hoping it gets below 2 dollars and then I will fill the tank. If it does not, I will fill it anyway at the reduced prices we are seeing currently.

Well, our quarantine/shelter in place/stay home stay safe continues. 10 million people have applied for unemployment in the past 2 weeks. People are out of work. Despite Trump and the Republicans dumping Trillions into the stock market, promising to rescue big business, stock market is still falling, oil is at record low prices for crude. Heating oil and gasoline prices are falling but not nearly so fast as crude prices. I have noticed historically that when crude prices go up, gasoline and heating oil prices rise immediately. Sometimes several times a day. When the prices drop, the gasoline and heating oil prices drop very slowly.
there they are for today:Â Â down 6 cents per gallon from yesterday
