I haven'T check burning oil. But here, diesel is now 0.86$ a liter, 6 cents cheaper than gas. I haven't seen this in 3 years. I love my duramax, but I don'T think I will get any oil burning device....
Deffy said:update: he came and did fill it then tried to sell me automatic delivery. he said wow your tank was empty, you know he have automatic delivery...
i just said no thanks, this oil should last us at least through next january.
even though it prob will last that long, i hate auto delivery. they come as soon as the price spikes, get mad if you dont use enough, and if theres no price spike they dont seem to "remember" that you might be low on oil. plus it takes away your right to shop around. i paid 1.80/gal. had i tried the first company i called i might have paid 2.30/gal
now i'd really like to get some pellets, i wish the prices would drop so that its at least the equivalent to oil. i like the way they keep the house a steady temp without that low right before the furnace kicks on.
automatic delivery is good for some folks who are prone to not checking their oil tank levels.....these are the folks who call you on Christmas Eve at 11:30pm with no heat... :sick:

just paid my first propane bill of the year, thanks to running the OPB for heat I took the remaining oil money from '07 prebuy and had them put it on my propane account, I went all winter without sending a check to eastern gas!
I use propane for hot water, stove and dryer, plan on converting hot water to OPB for this winter so they will still be getting less from me. (of course they just raise the rate then)

Propane is 3.27 here. Boy are some of us getting screwed! I just love this state! Im really thinking of starting to remove my tanks and bring them to be filled. A PITA but would save some $.
