Quote cost instrument
Heating-oil cost calculator
Multiply a current supplier quote by an order amount, then compare it with a clearly dated EIA benchmark without confusing either number for a guaranteed delivered price.
Field notes
Use the supplier's complete quote
- 01
Enter the per-gallon price the supplier gave you, not an undated search snippet.
- 02
Ask whether taxes, minimum delivery, emergency fees, service plans, or payment terms change the total.
- 03
The federal benchmark is a dated reference point; the written supplier quote controls the actual purchase.
Cost / quote
Calculate the fuel subtotal

How do I calculate the price of a heating-oil delivery?
