Fuel oil vs LP

Is that a private transportation department or is that a government surcharge?

 

In 2008 in CT, diesel was over $5.25 per gallon with oil at $148/barrel.

 

Private surcharge…

 

We had to raise our LPG price $0.10 yesterday… can’t give gas away… not a good business plan.

 

Well, here we are just about a month later and oil has expectedly hit $100/barrel. As of today the price per gallon of home heating oil through my usual supplier is $3.56. I had dire predictions last winter of what was to come, and although it hasn't gotten as bad as I had fretted (yet) we're not done feeling the effects of... decisions made outside of our control.

 

Gas just took a .40¢ jump here this morning...and I have a feeling more is coming...

 

$3.56 yesterday morning turned into $3.74 today. I checked last night and I have a little less than half a tank left, which will carry me through until the fall. The burning question is (pun intended) do I buy more now anticipating that when fall comes, the prices will be exponentially worse, or do I embrace the pipe dream that prices will improve by then?

 

3.89 for heating oil at the place I go by daily. They stopped posting a lp price years ago when people got pizzed off that the price advertised is not the price on the bill!

 

Was at 4.09 a gallon on the way home

 

Larger local oil supplier posted
$4.29 per gallon for home heating oil this afternoon.

 

I thought $3.74 was bad this morning, but this evening I see it was jacked up to $4.10.

 

Time to add to this thread. Down the road it’ll be useful to have a digital trail left behind documenting how fast things unraveled. When I woke up this morning it was $4.60. By the time the stock market opened at 9:30 it jumped to $4.70 and stayed there all day. As of right now it’s at $5.20/gallon.

 

Can hardly wait to see what it cost me for them to deliver 120 gals of propane yesterday. Last fill was 4/2/2021 so that is 11 months of DHW and 3 mnths of pilot light for the boiler.

 

My boss got propane on Monday & paid $2.75 a gallon. I expected it to be higher since she only has a 120 gallon tank & only gets it twice a year.

 

Last time I bought home heating oil was Jan 3. Price was $2.96/gal
Today’s price: $5.40/gal

This morning as I put gas in the car. Price was 4.19/gal. As I went inside to pay, there was a short line waiting to pay. They told me that the delay was because the guy behind the counter was in the process of raising the price (up to $4.29) [small victory, I got the gas at 4.19] So, by me, the price has gone up about $1/gal in about a month.

 

Our no special contract price is $2.499 for lpg… with diesel going to $5.29 today, we are selling at cost.

 

$5.50/gallon is what my bill is for. $660 for 1.20 gallons. Fortunately that will last a year.
