I think this is just a giant waste of time. Buy oil when you need it. 100 gallons at a time seems like such a hassle and waste of effort and there is absolutely no reason to think you will come out ahead.

100 gallon order would give me over 1/2 a tank which is 1 month + of run time if we stay at normal temps for October. I typically have to order at least 100 gallons a month between late December and March anyway so just trying my best to not sink $600+ into the tank if there’s even a remote possibility that it may go down.

There was a similar thread a bit back with this same sentiment. I understand it, though, since heating is one of the biggest expenses we have, it makes sense for people to try and get it as cheap as possible.

Shhhh let them figure that out for themselves when they're hit with an emergency delivery fee.
