I hate overpaying, but I also hate the idea of running low during a cold snap and paying an emergency delivery fee. For people who heat with oil: do you fill up as soon as prices jump, or do you wait it out and bet on a pullback? What actually moves the price week to week?","community":"Home","score":3,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":3,"leading":{"id":790,"name":"Fill half now, half later","score":3},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"frugaljo","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-05T01:12:10.924Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/650","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":790,"name":"Fill half now, half later","body":"I heat with oil too, and the half-and-half trick has saved me from the worst timing mistakes. Fill to about half a tank now so a cold snap cannot catch you empty, then watch the weekly price for two or three weeks before topping off. You pay a little more in delivery fees, but you never buy your whole winter at the peak price, and you never pay an emergency fee either.","score":3,"rank_score":3,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-05T01:17:36.912Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
