I just received my first heating oil delivery of the season, and I paid $2.749. 🙁 That’s **40 cents more** per gallon than I paid in [December 2006](http://www.stevejenkins.us/archives/2006/12/06/3118/first-heating-oil-delivery-of-the-2006-07-heating-season/ “View the Post”). It’s 20 cents more than I paid in [November 2005](http://www.stevejenkins.us/archives/2005/11/16/1924/first-heating-oil-delivery-of-season/ “View the Post”), 90 cents more per gallon than I paid in December 2004, and $1.55 more per gallon than I paid in 2003.
