insurance for what? It's fucking heating oil. It's not going to blow a tire.

Lots of big companies let you pay an absurd per gallon price that subsidizes a yearly cleaning and emergency “insurance” for after hours no heat calls. Dead River and RH Foster used to be big on this.

Insurance so that if the price goes down, you pay the lower price. So on order to "make" money at prebuy of 4.84 the price of oil would have to drop to 4.14. It used to be 25 cents a gallon and option. This year it was 69 and mandatory to prebuy
