why the high cost of heating oil [View all]
we all know that it is at least 25% cheaper to refine heating oil compared to gasoline! we all know that their is no federal or state user tax (hwy) for heating oil! that is a savings of at least a dollar a gallon. we also know that the dealer depending on size either has a storage tank or goes to a tank farm (usually less than 30 miles from him) cutting the distribution cost compared to a conviencestore or filling sta.
An est . of cost of delivery per gal. would be 25 cents per gallon from pickup to customer!
so if gasoline is 3.299 a gal. in AUGUSTA NUMBER 2 HEATING OIL SHOULD BE $2,50 TO $2.70 PER GAL. DELIVERED!
DON'T YOU THINK ITS TIME TO STOP THE RIP OFF! NO WONDER EXXON/MOBIL IS MAKING RECORD PROFITS!
WE GOT A GOVERNOR AND BUSINESSMAN WHO THINK OWNING A BUSINESS IS LIKE HAVING A LICENSE TO STEAL!
