Fill Your Tank Now, Beat the Rush, Know the Price

Our Pre-Buy Option is offered each spring and early summer to customers who wish to purchase their winter heating fuel in the off season, when prices are traditionally lowest. Customers pay in the summer for their fuel, and Skylands delivers it through the winter. We'll help you figure out approximately what your gallon usage will be, based on previous years. Each month you receive a statement, showing what your remaining balance is in gallons. This is often the way to pay the lowest per gallon price.

Existing Skylands customers can call or email to get a summary of their usage last year, to help determine what you might want to buy this year. If you would like to buffer yourself against a colder than average winter, consider purchasing an additional 100 to 150 gallons and adjust your payment accordingly.

Pre-Buy: $4.599/gal. Pay now for the gallons you will use next season. You can also add downside participation to this plan by paying $0.30 per gallon price protection insurance (include this payment with your pre-buy check). Then you will pay the lesser of $4.599 or the market price for each of your deliveries.

Risk factors: If you need more gallons than you pre-buy (a particularly cold winter might do that), you purchase them at the current market price, which could be higher. Additionally, should the price drop lower than your pre-buy, you are not able to take advantage of the downward movement.
