Hello neighbors,
Overview:
We're Steve and Evie Isenberg, you've seen us walking around the neighborhood and we've spoken to you about our oil supplier research.
Our research is done.
We have contacted eight oil supplies who service our neighborhood to determine what they are charging for delivering heating oil, and what they are charging for boiler service. We're writing you because you expressed an interest in our project, so you can access the results.
Several of the suppliers offer lower prices if a group of 5-10 of us end signing up with them; we've included the “group” pricing and the “non-group” pricing so you can decide which is best for you.
You can see the results of our research at https://oil.toku.us (This is a site created and maintained by Steve.)
In short, the first part lists the eight oil suppliers we contacted (in no special order) with their oil and service options and pricing. The second part shows what multiple deliveries of oil from each supplier would cost at the current (7/18/2022) prices. (Note of course that oil prices will likely go up or down over time.)
Examples based on price information 7/18/2022:
- Lyons Fuel is $3/76/gallon delivered plus $60 per-delivery charge. Cubby Oil charges
- In the first table, you'll see that as of 7/18/2022, Lyons Fuel charges $3.76/gallon delivered plus a $60 per-delivery charge. Cubby Oil charges $4.80/gallon delivered (Cubby's pricing is for a group).
The second table shows that if you have 200 gallons oil delivered five times during the year, assuming the prices were the same, you would save over $700 by going with Lyons Oil despite the delivery charge.
Each household will have a direct business relationship with the chosen oil supplier after you sign up with the them, because every household's usage and payment method is different. Steve and Evie are only giving you the information, and we will have no involvement in any oil supplier choice you may make.
Help us grow the group! Please let others know if they are interested in joining the group and saving oil costs. Please forward this email to them with our contact information.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email us, or give us a call.
We are looking forward to finding a good group price/service oil supplier for all of us!
