K1 is right at $6 a gallon here. From the bulk plant.

Yikes. I bought a year's contract @ $2.59/gal last summer; the last
delivery would have been $3.15 without the contract, but that was back
in the fall. The delivered cash price here in ME is $4.23 today. I
better make sure the tank is full when the contract runs out in May.

No, with that large a price differential you'd better save up cash
for a second tank to store what you've got now, and order at least one
more fill-up before the contract runs out in May - go right up to the
gallonage limits in the contract, if there are any... Tell them
you're running your oil fired forge and kiln a lot if they ask.
