I'm a little unsure about posting this on a public forum but given all the recent issues and questions concerning a local Oil I'd like some input from my fellow trusted forum members.
I'm a long time customer of that oil company on automatic delivery, during the recent "crisis" period I received an automatic delivery but for the first time in over 10 yrs of doing business with them they didn't fill my tanks, they delivered an even 150 gal during the second week in Jan. I thought nothing of this at the time and noted during a visit a to the house a week later that the tanks (2) indicated slightly over 3/4 full. I promptly paid the invoice. I just today got another invoice for another automatic delivery of and additional 280 gallons that were delivered exactly 20 days later. Doing the math I have to question the ability of my tanks to hold this amount of additional oil (280 gal) with such a short time frame of 20 days between deliveries. I know it's been cold at the lake but this would represent historic high consumption for me.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this subject? Any insight as to accuracy and security of meters on the delivery trucks? Any history of oil being delivered to one address and billed to another? I don't want to make unfounded allegations against a business that has been long established but by the same token If this business has gone bad I don't want to be in the line of consumers that have been taken in a scam.

Thoughts? Comments?
