Patriot came. They didn't need to but whatever.

102.8 gal @ $4.88. Damn. That's really bad. Exeter Fuel is $5.45 at this quantity and at 500+ gal is still $5.23. This is all very similar to last time.

They REALLY didn't need to come this time. But they delivered 46.4 gallons @ $3.89. At this quantity Exeter Fuel would have been $4.30 and even the cheapest price for 500+ gallons is still $4.08. Damn. Another score for Patriot.

87.5 gallons @ $3.99. Exeter Fuel is $4.55 at this quantity and still $4.33 even at 500+ gallons. Patriot told me their autofill customers receive the 150 gallon rate and the next rate decrease occurs at 300 gallons. There was about a 3 cents difference between their three rates. I believe the three rates occur at under 150, 150-300 and 300+.

98 gallons @ $3.99.

Well this is a surprise. Exeter Fuel is $3.90 at this quantity (which might be a typo). Then it says $3.98 for 150-199 gallons and $3.94 from 200-249 gallons.

91.9 gallons @ $3.35. Exeter Fuel is $3.38 at 500+ and at this capacity it would have been $3.60.

45.5 gallons @ $2.75. Exeter Fuel is $3.10 at this quantity and even at 500+, is still $2.88. Big win for Patriot this time (which doesn't matter at these low volumes).

65.7 gal @ $3.45. Exeter Fuel is $3.70 at this quantity. Even at 500 gal+ it is $3.48. I feel like I don't need to track this anymore (the Exeter Fuel prices that is). I think I proved my point.

Weather is getting colder. I have 3 tons of mini-split this winter which is twice the capacity I had last winter. So it will be interesting to see if I can notice oil savings. I also need to split my firewood this month...
