Interesting math involved - 12 million gallons of home heating oil for $9 million- THEN-

A 200 gallon delivery will cost $276.....

75 cents per gallon cost

$1.38 to the consumer

So who is getting the just over 80% mark-up? IF this was really to "help the poor folks", then why such a high mark-up?


Just an interesting observation.

The Kennedy Trust spun off a not-for-profit oil deal "to help the poor." It has proven a wonderful place to stash the Kennedy relativeswho have history of milking 501C-3s for astronomical salaries,expenses, and write-offs.

Nothing more profitable than a not-for-profit run by a crook.
