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?     |

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.
