So, I've only bought one tank of oil this winter on December 15: 182gal at 3.49 + sales tax at 7%. Thanks to a full tank going into the winter, mild winter, and a month of the pellet stove, I actually have something like 70% of a tank left.
The funny part is that I transposed the numbers, and over paid the oil dealer by about $15. Not a big deal, but they left me a message about it, and I finally go around to calling them today to tell them to just apply it to the next tank:
Abloy: Yeah, I got your message last week, sorry about not calling you I was out of town, just apply it to my next order, don't bother sending me a check.
Oil Man: Ok, great, are you in a hurry or will later this week work?
Abloy: Uhh, I was just calling you back, I don't need any oil.
Oil Man; Wow! You must have been out of town all month. Your job must really have you running around if you don't need oil.
Abloy: Something like that, I'll call you...
