This heating season has been anything but typical. Global supply and demand for oil, world events and market speculation has driven the price of home heating oil, kerosene, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to unprecedented levels.

All members who enrolled in the Price Protection Program saved significant dollars heating their homes last season. Most members locked in a price of $2.74 or $2.91 per gallon of heating oil or a price cap of $3.29. The average price per gallon last season was $3.85 and since March 1^st the retail price has averaged $5.15 per gallon.

This year we plan to wait to offer the Price Protection Program until the oil market settles down a bit. We are hoping that the current downward price trend will continue so we can lock in a fair price for our members. We are closely watching the market each day and at this time, expect to have the program ready to offer in July. Stay tuned!
