Back when ebay and Paypal were two separate entities, the fees for each made sense. But now that they are one, they literally get you coming and going.
Paypal makes sense for the buyer, but sucks for the seller.

i want my heating oil to be reasonably priced, without so many random increases which makes it hard to budget for. i understand the oil company making a profit.......but WTF is up with the price gouging JUST because its winter, and demand is high? since i am currently in a situation where i have to rent, not own, my heating options are pretty limited, so........


just a little perspective dude.

price gouging is pretty much what it is. I'm not sure if the price fluctuation come directly from the top, somewhere in between or just locally. Cause the same oil is being used somewhere else, and its summer over there. Its full of crockshit to have your own heating cost get jacked up to ridiculous levels because someone thought, hey, people NEED heat and they'll pay for it either way. Lets raise the costs by 100%

It must suck for you to have to face that bullshit, especially when it comes to something basic as heating your home.

Yes it does suck for the seller. especially if you've been butt raped by a thieving buyer using the "Significantly not as described" maneuver. Goes back to why the buyer should front the fees.

I was trying to figure out why they had holding tanks for oil under their barns. :)

Natural gas runs my: heater, clothes dryer, built in BBQ, water heater. $20-25 a month in the winter, about $11 now.

We have the cold and snow as our penance to keep out the masses.

I wish we had the infrastructure for NG. It wouldn't be $25/month in winter though. ;)

Ahhh, ok. that makes sense.

I figured the option would be there to have an above (or below) ground tank but there had to be a snag.

delivery fees.........

Only 200 people in our town...we've got more deer than people as neighbors. ;)

You are correct on the high costs, but our property taxes are limited by prop 13.

There's a wee bit of granite here. That makes digging and burying any sort of utility supplies pretty challenging. It's doable, but hard to justify outside of the areas that qualify here as densely-populated urban areas.

The biggest city in the state has about 110,000 people and a population density of around 3,300/sq. mi. My town is way, way, way smaller than that. Who's going to build the infrastructure to deliver natural gas to an area where most people can't get cable or DSL?

how much is propane out there? The train ads claim that oil prices are more stable and cheaper than NG. But Propane is suppose to have more energy than NG.
