-===== 2022 Oil Provider Research =====
+=====2022 Oil Company Pricing Research=====
-We think that current supplier prices show relationships between the suppliers that will continue as oil prices go up or down. So we feel that if the underlying cost for heating oil goes up or down, we feel that the relative prices for each provider will also go up or down proportionately.
+Updated 8/2/2022 with Green Energy info from their website.
+====Disclaimers====
+  * <fs small>These price quotes listed below were obtained or were effective as of July 18, 2022.</fs>
+  * <fs small>As you know, oil pricing has been volatile and thus the price on any delivery date could be higher or lower.</fs>
+  * <fs small>Once we determine which oil company for the group, we will submit your name and contact information, with your permission, to that selected oil company.  From that point on, each household will establish their own independent business relationship with the oil company.</fs>
