OIL :: Who locked in and at what price

[Jenn]

we "pre bought" 500 gallons on a 10 month budget plan for $4.49 a gallon. Just filled up the other day (aside of the plan) and payed 3.59

I was chatting over the fence with my neighbor. He said he locked in last year. There's only himself and his wife at home these days so he shut off the upstairs, no bathroom up there so what the heck. Made a hell of a difference until his oil company says that he bought a lot less this year, what's up? He told them and theysaid there's a penalty. The deal was based on the previous year. WTEFF!! Pardon my francois....

BBJ-have neighbor tell oil co thats fine I will order more but I can t pay you for it.....lets see if that changes their tune.

Seriously this sux

On ours if you miss a budget payment it terminates your contract....I am thinking we may need to miss a payment. $4.49???? thats insane and the only reason we only commited to 500 gallons. We figured if it went higher we at least made out on 500 gal and if it went lower we werent roped into it for the whole season.....


I hate how they get ya either way....

I know LP is like this when you buy into a contract...gotta use.

In the end it's all a racket. I remember our last LP company "locking" us into a rate, only to up it a few months later. We'd have to call and complain, then they'd lower it down. Every time...
