- NYS has enacted legislation requiring low sulfur content home heating oil effective July 2012. Low sulfur product will increase efficiency and result in cleaner-burning fuel, resulting in more efficiency for furnaces. Prices are expected to increase somewhat initially as this program gets underway. Talk to your dealer for more information.
- Special update: Due to market volatility, many retail oil dealers are not offering Pre Buy or downside protections on CAP pricing (CAFG does not offer these programs). Please see our "Prices" page for information on CAFG's pricing. Explore your options, pick the best option for you, and look into helpful programs to help you save money (see links below).
