Buy now. You're at 1/4 tank and we had our first good frost this morning. People are going to start scheduling last minute fills in just a few short weeks. Get out ahead of them before demand jumps the price up.

It hurts less to fill a 1/4th full that at completely empty too.

You can never be 100% sure what oil futures are going to be. But I'm not willing to gamble and hold out til I'm running on fumes.

I mean - How much are you potentially saving? A hundred bucks? Possibly! Realistically? I don't know.

But I'm willing to fill the tank at a potential overspend, because it buys peace of mind.

I realize I'm in a somewhat privileged position to be able to do this. I'm not rich, and buying oil sucks. But running out in winter sucks more.
