NH heating fuel suppliers are absolute CROOKS..... Heating oil still @ 2.69/gal, LP @ $2.99-3.19/gal. Both should have been slightly under $2.00/gal after this long of crude oil cost plummeting over the past 6 months.....
Most delivery suppliers right now are paying 89-99 CENTS/gallon for oil/LP....... The profit gouging is ridiculous.
MA resident pay far less....... This is just one of the ways NH as a "tax free" state, make up for bragging about lower costs. (UN-true.)

In New Hampshire it every man an women for themselves. I plan on moving as soon as I retire. I'm also encouraging my children to move and give the place to the free staters and the one percenters. This state is very unfriendly to the middle class. Price gouging and screwing the public is how it goes here. Live free or die is the state motto. State government is full of self serving idiots with no vision other than self enrichment.

Amen. I just got my 30 gallons/month propane fillup for $3.33/gallon
I am done with these scumbags. I see them at the bar braging about how they made millions owning a gas station or buying equipment at HD and returning it after the job was complete (& many other fine tales about how they made their millions.) Then they nod and agreed with some free-state whacko who was all but suggesting a rebellion. This in a state with one of the lowest tax burdens in the USA (no income or sales tax). Never seen people who have it so good whine so much. They aren't seeing a penny of my money any longer, I've had it with them.Just filled the tank yesterday with 150 gallons at $2.39. Today it went up to $2.49. I'm sure it will keep going.
You can't run a state without money. NH just gets it different ways. Could be worse......could be MA. Could be double-worse....could live in NH and work in MA......all of the taxes and none of the "benefits/services" like a nice, fat unemployment check instead of the skimpy NH one.

Today oil dropped almost $5 a barrel
Rebound for Oil Fizzles Out
A recent rebound in oil prices fizzled out Wednesday as the benchmark contract for U.S. crude fell $4.60, or 8.7 percent, to settle at $48.45 a barrel in New York. The drop came after the U.S. government reported an increase in crude inventories last week.
Oil had rallied over the previous four days as traders speculated that low prices would force more energy companies to curtail exploration and production. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by many U.S. refineries, declined $3.75, or 6.5 percent, to close at $54.16 a barrel in London.

Five days for gas prices to go up at the pump over 20 cents and will probably take two weeks to come back down

I'll enjoy pellet's slow steady rise in prices for a few years then switch to "free" wood when it gets ridiculous
It may never come back down......
I did put in there "probably". Still have the steel workers strike to muck up things.
Once the excess production is removed from the marketplace prices will go up twice as fast as they came down.
It doesn't take steel workers for prices to get jacked. Helpful excuse currently, but........ If the wind changes direction is a good enough reason in the big oiler's minds. The more I ponder everything the more I think it is all just one big Ponzi scheme...... Stocks, insurance, banking, corporate pricing, media, and the whole nine yards.

What really pisses me off is how slow they are to drop the price of oil products like gas and heating oil, but notice how friggin quick they jack the prices up when crude goes up a bit!
!
We own a farm where we have livestock, grow and harvest hay and had to register our farm for the state ID farm registration program. Also it is zoned as farm for prop taxes. We're safe. We currently have a non running truck plated farm and our diesel plated as duel purp
Right now, I don't like to discuss livestock...pita in the winter. Was out this morning with a sledge hammer breaking ice on a water tank. Been so cold here, they freeze over despite tank heaters.
No issue with me on plates. Some people think because they live in the country they can run farm plates without farming.

Fairly sure they only lower prices based on actual cost of oil/gas/propane as delivered, raise prices based on the futures market.

Lol, I saw that effect flow like dominoes today. $1.99 to $2.09 at 5 stations within hours. I think modern folks use something akin to gas buddy though :D
Them modern folks and technology always intimidate me.

That sucks! I love the automatic waterers we put in about 3 years ago. I hated having 200 feet of frozen hoses in the back hall unthaw ing
