Hmmmmm ........
Makes me wonder . My understanding that part of the cost of a petroleum product was the cost of refining . I would guess gasoline requires a significantly greater refining cost than heating oil ?
We are paying around $ 2.00 a gallon for unleaded gasoline . This price includes a a fair chunk of " road tax " .
You are paying $ 1.99 a gallon for heating oil , which should , I think , be cheaper to refine . Does the $ 1.99 include any tax , also ?
I am wondering if you are getting gouged on the price of heating oil ? Of course , I figure the distributor is delivering the heating oil to your door . That has to cost something .
What is a typical size of a residential heating oil tank ?
Is propane / butane available in your area ? I wonder what the cost would be ?
The majority of people in our area heat with natural gas .
God bless
Wyr
