got my first oil bill

[Gibson486]

The delivery charge is $51, but the oil itself is $21.......

Should it be the other way around?

 

[laurenlex]

It's $72 no matter how you slice it.

 

[wfbberzerker]

it costs a lot more to run the pipes than it does to get the oil.

edited for grammar.

I wouldn't want to drive a truck full of oil out to your house to sell you $21 worth of oil. That's time and gas wasted.

 

[saahmed]

Companies always screw you on the delivery charges. Thats where they make their money.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

sure...gas is expensive bacause oil is so expensive....and it takes alot of gas to drive that truck to your house to deliver that expensive oil....er..wait....

 

[clamum]

Haha

The oil bill to fill up like 1/2 of our tank was $400

hmm seems odd to me. we had oil in the last house. never got a $50 delivery charge at all.
