When I had oil heat , the best way to beat the pricing issues was a large tank and buying off season. I had a 1000 gallon tank and would fill it in june or july. The one fill up lasted all year and i could get the oil for sometimes 60 or 70 cents a gallon cheaper off season.

Oh...another thing! I would not bother locking in.....its a huge scam! When it does not benefit the oil company they bail on the contract anyway! Shop around and check the discount oil companies when you need to buy!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I have a woodstove and oil heat. I cut my heat in half with the woodstove. I only need this winter 300 gallons. The downside to the woodstove is wood prices are also thru the roof. Unless you can track down a tree guy this spring as they cutting down some trees and tell him to dump them in your yard. I just stockpiled 5 cords of firewood and the zero. But I too am going to switch to natural gas.
