Vermont Heating Oil Prices

For Our Members

Since September 2000, Co-op members have saved more than $500,000 on their heating bills (when compared with Vermont average prices). We can produce these savings because our financial objective is to manage the Co-op to generate a small margin - currently just 50 cents a gallon above our fuel costs. Because fuel costs fluctuate daily, and because our competitors sometimes lower their margins, we don't always have the lowest prices out there. By and large, however, Co-op members can expect to save enough on their heating bills each year to pay for their $24 membership several times over and even more with an energy audit.
