No offense, but that's not unexpected news given the gas price scare they're broadcasting on the news and in newsprint.

I think this years christmas gifts will be longjohns, wool socks and snuggies for everyone!

Snuggies-----I was in CVS yesterday in Marshfield and Snuggies were on clearance in the Valentines Section for 90% off. Regularly $24.99 on sale for $2.49!! Stock up on some good Gag gifts. I might grab one for those cold nights fishing………………….

Word to your Mother.......oil prices fluctuate on a daily basis...not just Friday!!:smash: In the morning it could be one price and by the afternoon it could go up so......nothing surprising here.

Mother? Don't know where you got that reference BF

No offence taken Tim , it's just that this was what we were JUST told today by our oil company so if anyone was thinking to get more
before the price goes up AGAIN .... order for tomorrows delivery was all i was SUGGESTING

I don't buy oil but I have this thought...

If I ran an oil company and I was heading into the good weather with a lot of customers thinking they could get by with the oil they have until the warm weather gets here , I would circulate a rumor that the prices will be going up substantially to try to get people to fill up their tanks now and have it stored in their tanks over the summer rather than in the suppliers tank. They much prefer money in their account to oil in their storage tank instead of yours.

Anyway , just a theory. :)

oil heats our hot water....

otherwise we use oil filled electric heat in the room
we are using instead of heating the whole house
which is cheaper...

Is that one of those "wink, wink, nod, nod, finger alongside your nose" hints? :rollem: ;):heybaby::drevil:

That was my immediate reaction SH! We have enough oil to wait until prices hopefully drop over the summer. We shut out furnace off about the end of March! Electric hot water....thank goodness!

When I had oil heat , i bought a years supply in may or June. It was anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3 the price of what it was in Dec , Jan , feb. One year I bought it for 48 cents a gallon in june when it had been about $1.26 that winter. Had a 1000 gallon tank so one fill up in the summer was good all year long.
