Our new home has propane and we were able to lock in at a $1.69 cap back in July. :beer:

On delivery's good for you, JimG, not so good for the fuel company. Not really in their best interest to advise a lock now, really, unless you paid up front (a dollar today's worth more than a dollar tomorrow, and all that). I'd say hold on to that rep for all she's worth.

My fuel oil company has been very good for us...I use them for my burner service and have a PM contract with them. They are very responsive and have always performed good quality work.

That's what I loked in at. Bought 500 gallons up front and I'm really glad I did. Oil shot up $4.37 / barrel yesterday on fears of more supply disruptions from Rita. Open them wallets.....Stephen said:

I bought 1100 gallons. I cover the heat for both sides of the duplex (on my future list of improvements to take care of...).
I'd guess that my $6,100 driveway would cost near $10,000 to install now.

I'm having an oil change done today at the "franchise" I get most of my work done. The guys there have been pretty fair to me for the most part. Today a guy from there calls and indicates his recommendations include a "fuel system service". According to him, this is recommended every 30,000 miles and will greatly increase my gas mileage (funny...first I've heard of this service and I've been having work done there for years). The guys states, "with gas prices as high as they are you really want to get this done as this service will result in much better gas mileage". It sounds like not much more than a fuel additive being dumped into the tank - all for a bargain price of $89! Nice try... :roll: I told him "no, thanks".

Can't blame a guy for trying. I wonder how many more of those "treatments" they sell using the gas prices line?

I just bought 250 gallons of heating oil at $2.24 a gallon COD. We are going to stay at a COD basis this winter and take what we get as my fuel oil company wants $2.70 for a lock in rate.
I am thinking that we are going to have a warm fall, so hopefully the oil will last to December 1st

I sure liked paying for gas at these prices compared to what I pay at home:
The further that we drove into Pennsylvania, the cheaper the gas prices. This is the station in Jim Thorpe.
