    Larsen Oil     503 281 0003    200g   2.39    400g   2.36

    10/28/09  Close   1.9993      Heating Oil        10/29/09    Close    2.0542   up   .o542

    Well, todays home heating oil prices were a bit surprising.  Despite an almost 6 cent per gallon drop in heating oil prices and a 2.22 drop in the crude oil price yesterday, Larsen’s price did not change at all, and the Pulliam price droped 4 cents for the 200 gallon price and 2 cents for the 400 gallon price.  Odd.  Now I will be anzious to see what tomorrow brings.  Todays close is up almost exactly what yesterday was down,  want to take bets on if it goes up tomorrow?

    remember:  todays home heating oil price is dependent on the LAST close, Fridays closing number.

    tomorrows price should drop.

    The prices continue to fall after the market closes,  this is due to foreign trading.  At 9:30p heating oil has dropped another 2 cents to 2.0335, and crude to 78.66, it is flucuating about 10 cents back and forth

  • Todays Oil Prices 10/20/09 October 20, 2009Sue

    The way it works at Larsen Oil is this.  If you order fuel today, your price is locked in at todays price.  If your oil is delivered next week, even if the price goes up between now and then, your price is todays price.  Same is true though if the price goes down.  However, if   YOU do the checking and the price is lower than when you order it, and you request the change, they will lower the price.  It is not done automatically.

    Todays oil price did not change from yesterdays.  The trend so far today is lower.  Crude is down  1.04 as of 10 AM. 

    Todays closing numbers

    Crude  79.09  down 0.52

    Heating Oil  2.0438  down 0.01

    Larsen Oil  503 281 0003   200g   2,34    400g  2.31

    Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968  200g   2.33     400g 2.28

  • Todays price 10/18/09 October 19, 2009Sue

    According to the nice lady at Larsen Oil, the price of oil is based on the previous days closing oil price.  Late each afternoon, after the stock market closes, they get a phone call from the distributor where they purchase their oil with the price for the following day.  Therefore,  Mondays oil price is based on Fridays closing price.  Tuesdays price is based on Mondays close.  I am listing Larsens oil price as they are always one of the lowest.  I put Pulliams price here as that is who Mike gets his oil from.  I feel comfortable recommending either company.

    Crude  78.10

    Heating Oil  2.037

    Larsen  Oil 503 281 0003  200g 2.34   400g 2.31

    Pulliam 503 564 4968  200g 2.33   400g 2.28

    Heating Oil $2.0187  barrel

    Pulliam Oil  200g price  $2.32 gal

    Larsen Oil closed today.  Pulliam cheaper than I thought.  I will check both from today on.
