If you live in the USA you can benefit from cheaper heating oil by using a site called NeighborOil. This company acts like a Co-operative (although it is profit making) and buts heating oil on your behalf. The advantage is that because it can bundle hundreds of people like you together it can negotiate fairly large discounts and some of this saving is then passed onto you. I've been informed recently that there is a similar scheme in the UK called BoilerJuice.com which claims to do the same thing for us Brits. As I use oil for my central heating and I'm due a 900L fill over the next 30 days or so I'll give it a try and let you know if any real savings can be made. Lets face it with the price of oil at the moment even a few pence per litre discount adds up. Here's hoping :) If it doesn't work I may create my own co-operative (if it's legal that is)
