I have been buying oil to heat my hot water. Last time I bought oil it was about $2.05 a gallon. I just checked out pricing and it is almost $2.20 per gallon. That is a two day jump of 15 cents. I am glad I still have three plus tons of pellets left plus one or two more on the way
 
Don't complain too much - I just called my oil dealer to arrange a delivery here in upstate NY, and the price is $3.14 a gallon. Yup, its cheaper to buy diesel and pay road use taxes than have the heating oil delivered. The Pellet stove is a blessing.
 
I guess, diesel here is $2.89.
 
The Irving Station in Yarmouth was selling gas for 1.74 yesterday. It seems like gas goes down & oil goes up. Oil goes down & gas goes up.
