Current Home Heating Oil Prices

[Dan Freeman]

Wow! Paid $4.35/gallon today for home heating oil. Until this year, the highest I have paid over the past 27 years was $3.20/gallon and that was last year. So glad I am heating with wood. My furnace only comes on once in the wee hours of the morning before we wake up. Our last propane delivery (for cooking, whole-house generator, auxiliary heater) was $6.00/gallon. It's getting crazy!

Those prices are way above current averages at both national and state levels. I havnt bought oil in a year and havnt checked our area for that but my propane delivery a week and a half ago was $2.99

When did they begin to get so high???

LP was 2.38 last week here

 

[woodey]

LP was 2.21 here last week

Btw I only needed 40 gal. It probably would have been cheaper for more

Just think, there is distinct chance that all the heating oil in New England will have to be minimum 15% renewable (biodiesel). It will cost a premium over fossil heating oil.

I know a guy that drives truck for a LP distributor...he mentioned last night that supplies are dwindling and national wholesale LP price are spiking, hard and fast.
Sure glad my heating supplies are well stocked...

I went to natural gas soon after I bought oil that high 10 years ago or so.

Oil prices in the Boston area are a little lower but not by much

Here, today. Haven't checked since I filled up in August (still use some for hot water).

Years ago before I got my wood boiler. I installed a second tank. I only needed to fill up once a year in the summer when the oil was cheap. I eventually cut my oil usage to less than 275 gallons heating with wood stove and then once the wood boiler with storage was done the only thing the oil is used for is when I am gone for an extended trip in very cold weather.

When I broke my ankle in November, I had several folks telling me I needed to fill up the oil tanks and run oil since my wood stove was in the basement. With some help getting my bulkhead filled a couple of times I managed to avoid using oil which required 4 trips over 2 hours. A PITA but got my up and moving.

Think I paid $3.89 a gallon for oil in central MA last month when they were out. So glad that I am supplementing with wood this year.

Saw 5.79 a gallon yesterday in Concord, NH, and I was upset when I filled up 2 weeks ago for 3.69.....

Propane furnace is gone here. We got off the fossil fuel merry-go-round in 2006.
