    Price gouging - Petro charged $4.789 for a gallon of oil (total was $719.79 for 150 gallons). I called and spoke with several different people from Petro. I received a bill for $719.79 for 150 gallons of heating oil ($4.789 / gallon). A neighbor was charged $3.39 a gallon with another company. Back in November 2020, I spoke with **** from the company, we discussed moving to a monthly payment plan along with being on the Ceiling plan so that my price per gallon wouldn't go above $3.00. When I called Petro regarding the price influx, I was told that I was not on a ceiling plan and they offered to discount me $100 to sign a 1 year agreement. I declined as I didnt want to be in contract with them when they aren't offering to resolve the problem. They are unwilling to honor the ceiling plan price even though I am on the plan (no notice came, only the monthly bill). The *** (** *********************************) lists the current price on 1/24/22 at $3.831. At the very least I asked them to honor that price, in which they wouldn't.

    Driver of Petro oil pulled out of my neighbors and drove directly across my front lawn. The driver dug his tires 5-6 inches into my lawn and then across it!!! I contacted a manager and he just blew it off.... Pretty crappy company if you were to ask me!!!!
