A few years back I was on an autofill plan.

A neighbor told me that the same thing happens when he's on the
autofill plan. They come and put in a small amount of gallons
and then he gets hit with the hazmat fee over and over again.

He says they charge more if you're on an "as-call" basis, so,
he said what he does is not pay them.

When you don't pay them, they don't show up, even if you're on
a schedule.

Then, when he gets down to about 20%, he pays them for the last
fill. Once his check clears, they come.

So, he says, it's a way that he gets to be "on-call" at auto-fill
prices.

I'll have to think about that for a while.

I have oil and I have been lax about checkign out billing and
competition, but early on I did somethingr a little bit like your
story.

To get automatic delivery they wanted me to sign a contract. I'm sure
I coudl cancel at any time, but I coudln't make up my mind about
anything so I didn't read it or write back. They come automatically
anyhow. They want the business.
