I hear you, about the price of delivery. Ouch!

Thanks Chris! Is kerosene cheaper than diesel? That would be terrific!
Then again I wonder if kerosene would burn quicker since it's a
thinner more clarified oil? Or does that even matter?

It's not cheaper.

You're far better off finding the means to build a buffer of fuel oil
and then start saving for the next fill up. *Instead of waiting till
you are out and not having the money. *In the end you are paying more
for the same thing. *And if you have a tight budget that's not the
mindset that will ever get you out of the hole.

Ok perhaps I generalized a bit much! I'm in no hole, but there will be
times when my oil runs out the same week I paid $1,400 *for rent! Thus
making another $300+ manifest for oil a near impossibility! But buying
5-10 gals of diesel to tie us over is fine by me, as I had originally
stated, "in a pinch". Anyhow if I could prevent my hard earned money
from being pocketed by these stingy oil companies forever I'd die
happy! Why have a minimum 100 gal delivery at all? Why not let me
throw in 20 gals for $80 or so dollars weekly or bi-weekly? Seriously,
why not?- Hide quoted text -

The true answer to your problem is BUDGET. Put aside money to get a
full delivery out of each pay check and don't touch it for anything
else. Basically your outlook is that yu are somehow not over paying
for fuel by buing 5-10 gals. WRONG you are paying a premium.

Others have answered you question about the fee for delivery. Because
is costs the company money to run the truck out to your place and they
are not going do it for free for a few gallons because you can't
budget your finances.

Sorry for the rather harsh tone but others have tried to say it nicely
and you are _still_ saying the same thing.
