A) There is usually a hefty cancellation fee for pricing contracts. -
Post mentioned he is variable price customer so I'm assuming his contract has expired and he's paying market rates. You are correct about the fee if he's still under contract.
B) Those companies are all owned by Petro and in the past have not negotiated pricing among themselves.
That statement is only accurate if you are still under a contract with one of their sister companies. You get the best pricing if you switch between Oil companies annually. You can switch between Petro and Meenan but you can not be under contract when you call for a quote.
A friend followed my advice and switched from Petro to Meenan in Nov, locked in Ceiling price at $2.29.
Doesn’t matter I would still use CODfuel.com until summer comes when prices are generally lower. Just make sure you get your boiler cleaned and serviced yearly.

Cancel you contract with Meenan and you can get new customer pricing with Petro or Perillo Bros in the low 2's price range. They offer the same great service contract as Meenan.
FYI I am a Petro customer and Meenan would not give me new customer pricing. I would think the same would apply if you are Meenan customer looking to go to Petro.
Best price I got from Petro today via ”retentions” is 2.699 with $99 service contract. Not really interested in that.
Petro offered me $2.64 to stay with them.
