Why Do Heating Oil Prices Change So Often?

Here at T&M Fuel you will always get the best price in the region for fuel oil delivery, and we will always beat a competitor’s price. But customers often ask why the price they see today isn’t the same one they saw last week.

Heating oil is a commodity, which means its price is tied to the global market for crude oil and refined products. When crude moves, home heating oil follows. Seasonal demand plays a role too — a cold snap across the Northeast raises demand and can nudge prices up.

The short version: we don’t set the market, but we do promise to give you the lowest price in the region every day, and to beat any competitor’s quote. Call us before you order anywhere else.
