Boy did I get hit with some sticker shock today... for some #2 heating oil in the Augusta area.
When I called around today to get some prices, I was rather shocked to hear from multiple suppliers the price had jumped up 40+ cents per gallon since just 20 days ago. Although the law of supply and demand clearly applies, and it has been very very cold lately, it just seems like that big of a jump is leaning toward price gouging. Are other areas around the state seeing the same kind of price hike for #2?
