You can have any oil company fill your tank, thereby being able to select
the cheapest supplier.

Glad you brought that up. Buying fromt he lowes seller is good in many
cases, but recenly, I've done beter with a full service company and a locked
in price. Last year I could h ave bought oil at about 95¢ in the summer,
but found it cheaper to pay $1.14. Why? The 95¢ dealer was $1.95 to $2.05
in the coldest part of the winter, but I still paid the $1.14 for the
season as I was locked in by contract.

Many full service dealers have better service for regular cu stoerms I.e,
no overtime chareges if you need service after hours. They will also fill
you up if you run out at any time.

Of course, the best deal this year may not be next year. You have options,
so look at them all to see what suites you best.
