Read in the paper this morning about an area oil dealer that closed its doors evidently due to lack of business. There were some customers that had purchased heating oil on a prebuy and now may be out the oil and their money.
Story kind of got my interest as I have about 220 gallons of oil from my own oil company that I pre-bought at about $2.50 a gallon a year or so ago. Since installing the pellet stove last November I haven't used a lot of oil and the tank last checked was at about 1/3 full, so not enough to prompt me to call for a delivery.
Got me wondering if there may be a trend in some of these smaller oil guys going out of business, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone else has heard of any heating oil companies shutting their doors on their customers.
