How much are you all paying for oil?

[leahjade]

Last year I paid 2.29

This year 2.82

How do they expect people to spend their money to help the economy when everything costs so much?

My price wouldn't help you - I paid $200 for my last fill of 100 gallons, but that's cost - DH works for an oil co and that's one of the benefits he gets. DH said the price is going to creep over $3 before the year is out.

We are locked in at $2.99. If it goes under 2.99 we pay less but if it goes over we will not pay more than the 2.99.....thank goodness

We just got a delivery yesterday - had just over half a tank full (250 gallon tank). Almost died when I saw a $400 bill - it was 3.099 a gallon!

2 years ago, we had the final fill on our tank for the winter (about 200 gallons) and it was..... $865! Price per gallon was $4.19.

Here's the kicker... When we bought the house, we had no previous experience with oil heat (none with any heat really since it was our first place outside of a mobile home and that was really cheap.) We were using a tankful every month through the winter (68 on the thermostat) and with the cost being roughly $200 to fill, thought that was normal. After all, my parents were on a budget billing for gas and was paying $200/month all year long.

That summer, we did a lot of work insulating the house, and along with the price going back down to normal levels, now we fill up the tank about twice per the past 2 winters instead of once a month for 5 months.

We were topped off (now on a schedule) around Thanksgiving and it was $2.19 or $2.29 I think.

Last year it was around 2.20 a gallon. This year it is about 2.75 a gallon and we use the cheapest company in the state.

$2.89 last week.

We have a ceiling rate this year. In the past I have gotten screwed on my lock in, and I just know this year I'll get screwed on the ceiling rate!

We won't pay more than $3.049 a gallon but if it goes lower, we pay the lower rate. Got oil last week at the $3.049 rate.

 

[thewesterberg]

We got oil last week and it was $ 3.05. Ick.
