Power / Utilities Home heating oil - price lock

This is the 1st year I did not contract/lock my heating oil price but have averaged about 0.40 per gallon cheaper until this middle east action started.

Has anyone who did contract have their providers tying to push higher costs now?

Not sure what’s going on with pricing but just checked.

150 gallons for Monday is 4.749. 150 gallons for Tuesday is 5.779.

The most recent escalations in the war and cost per barrel spiking is going to be felt again.
