Want the price to go down?

Use less gas and heating oil. In my case I'll be burning a lot of wood this winter.

Crown Point Indiana 3.17 to 3.19
Merrillville IN 2.99 to 3.29

I spoke with a independent dealer, he says the big oil BP, Shell etc are holding back supplies from the independents.
That way they keep their prices around $3.00 and more expensive for the independents. Say's he feels like they are trying to squeeze out the smaller independent players.

Based on the local prices, His comments ring true. $2.99 price was at a BP/Amoco located on US 30/Mississippi St, off I-65 in Merrillville. Highest prices were at the independent stations.
