2022 Oil Provider 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.
Disclaimers
- This is information we've gotten from talking with each of the providers.
- Although we have taken great care to make sure the information is correct as stated, it's possible we have been mistaken; the supplier is ultimately responsible for any pricing and service offerings. If there is any difference between what we have presented here and what the supplier says is the case, then the supplier is correct.
- Each family is responsible for choosing which oil supplier to associate with, and any relationship between them and their supplier choice is strictly between them and the supplier.
- The information presented was obtained through phone conversations and email with each of the providers in the morning of Monday July 18, 2022. Each supplier's pricing and service offerings are subject to change without notice.
If you can contribute to our research in any way, please let us know both@toku.us and thank you.
