(for any of us living in the NE, the harsh runup in HO prices, with heftier margins tacked on, is frightening and costly and contributes to the following point) want to save 60 cents / gallon on your home heating oil in the northeast( or anywhere else there's a lot of competition) next year? here's a strategy for doing so: 1. if you're a customer of a large oil company in your area, call 2 other ones for quotes. tell them that you want to switch from the big, bad guy and that you'll agree to buy exclusively from them for a year. 2. then call your existing provider and tell them that you received an offer to switch from one ,or both, of the other two. 3. then take your pick. just be sure that whomever you pick is reliable enough to show up in a middle of the night oil burner emergency and has qualified servicepeople 4. repeat year after year this strategy works best in june/july because that is the time of year when they buy( or allege to buy, who knows what the truth is)home heating oil futures. also, oil companies offer incentives to their salespeople to bring in new accounts. so, for a few phone calls, you'll be guaranteed to save something. how do i know that i'm saving 60 cents/gallon? they always send me an incorrect initial bill. but that's a different problem. sales, who is paying $1.29, not $ 1.89, with the # 2 company in the area
