Understanding local prices
Why Heating Oil Prices Vary Across the Northeast
Heating oil prices can differ from one state, town and dealer to another even on the same day. Wholesale fuel costs are an important starting point, but the price a homeowner sees also reflects delivery distance, local competition, operating costs, order quantity, payment method and how recently a dealer updated its price.
That is why the state figures above are best used as a regional comparison, not as a quote for your home. CheapHeatingOil.com calculates those figures from current dealer-listed prices in our directory and keeps older prices from controlling current headline statistics. For the most useful comparison, search your ZIP code and then review the dealers serving your area.
How our price data works
Dealer prices, homeowner reports, freshness and confidence — kept clearly separate.
Dealer-listed prices come from dealer submissions, administrator research, or dealer websites and are kept separate from homeowner-reported prices. Current-price summaries use the site freshness policy so older dealer prices do not control headline lowest-price statistics.
Dealer records also carry confidence levels based on the strength of the source and available evidence. Always confirm the final delivered price, delivery area, quantity minimum and payment terms directly with the dealer before ordering.

2. Dealers Submit Prices

3. Prices Get Checked
We check source, freshness and available evidence and keep dealer-listed prices separate from homeowner reports.

Before you order
How to Compare Heating Oil Dealers
Start with the current price per gallon, but do not stop there. Check the minimum delivery, quantity tier, cash or credit terms, delivery area, possible fees, when the price was last updated and the confidence level shown with the dealer record. A very low price is less useful if it is stale or does not apply to the amount you plan to order.
When two dealers are close in price, freshness and transparency can be the better tie-breakers. A recently updated price with clear terms is easier to compare than an older price with missing details. CheapHeatingOil.com is a directory and price-data publisher, not the heating-oil seller, so always confirm the final delivered price and terms directly with the dealer before placing an order.
Heating oil price questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about heating oil prices, delivery amounts and comparing local dealers.
How much does heating oil cost today?
The current Northeast listed-dealer average is $4.88 per gallon, based on current prices in our directory. Your local price may be higher or lower because dealer costs, delivery area, order size and payment terms vary. Enter your ZIP code above for the most relevant current prices near you.
How much is 100 gallons of heating oil?
At the current Northeast listed-dealer average of $4.88 per gallon, 100 gallons would cost about $488.21. Your actual total can differ because dealers may have minimum-delivery quantities, cash or credit pricing, delivery charges or a different local price. Check the dealer's current terms before ordering.
Why do dealers in the same town charge different prices?
Dealers in the same town can charge different prices because they buy fuel at different times, have different delivery routes and operating costs, set different minimum quantities, and may price cash and credit orders differently. Local competition and how recently each price was updated can also create a noticeable spread between dealers.
When is heating oil cheapest?
There is no guaranteed cheapest month for heating oil. Prices are influenced by crude oil and wholesale markets, inventories, weather, demand and local dealer competition. Lower-demand periods can sometimes be less expensive, but market moves can outweigh seasonality. Watching local prices and setting a price alert is more reliable than relying on the calendar.
How long does 150 gallons of heating oil last?
How long 150 gallons lasts depends on your home's size, insulation, thermostat setting, furnace efficiency, hot-water use and outdoor temperatures. The simplest estimate is to divide 150 by your average gallons used per day. At 5 gallons per day, for example, 150 gallons would last about 30 days.
