Oil Prices

[Wish Upon A Star]

I just made my yearly furnace cleaning for October 6th and questioned the per gallon rate for this upcoming season. I was told for ME it would be $149.9/gallon.

Then she went on to say that I didn't have a service contract. So I asked her how much cheaper the rates would be if I had the contract. She then quoted me $129.9/gallon . . .then I said I paid $1.09/gallon last year without a service contract. She then said well I can get you a price of $1.19.9/gallon.

Meanwhile they are wining and dining non-yearly customers with the $109.9/gallon rate. What's up with that?

I don't know but I called around for propane prices not too long ago and one of the companies said they were charging 1.26 a gallon then BUT IF I pre-bought 1200 gallons with a 2 year contract , they could sell to me for 1.59 a gallon. THAT didn't make any sense, why do I want a contract if I'm pre-buying?
My friend pre-bought at .99 a gallon last year, this year her price has increased to 1.19 .
I think I will be splitting all the wood around me and using it!
