After some research found a place that sells Kerosene at the pump.. cheaper than walmart/homedepot stuff.  

 

FYI.. 

 

121 Broadway, Elmwood Park, NJ 07407

 

 

Happen to catch the price?

I didn't know this was novel. There is a gas station that sells it at the pump about 4 miles from me, and the nearest grocery or store is 8 miles.

$3 per gallon.. clear (not red). They will ask you to bring a "blue" can (marked for Kerosene storage) though. 

Rt.4 Right across from K-Mart, man has that whole area changed since I was a kid.

^^^ yep thats the one.  I could be looking in wrong places, but that was the only place with the pump for decent price. Other places I called are all large scale home delivery / heating oil companies.

How long ago was that ?  from Interwebs search, looks like K1 has been hovering around 2:50 to 3 for 5/6 years now.

And gasoline cost half as much as gasoline.

Anyone find any in Somerset County?  The cheapest I can find it is $4.99.

I paid $4.69 today in Pompton Plains

I have zero problem finding pure white kerosene in Sussex County. There's multiple gas stations in the area that pump it. I didn't realize in Bergen County it was a rarity either.

Well, not many uses for it around here. Only person I know who stores kerosene uses it for back up portable heating.

A lot of us here with outdoor oil tanks use it to cut the fuel in the really cold months to prevent gelling. And for portable back up heating I suppose.

I can totally see the use where you guys have oil heating up in Sussex. But not many people have oil in brgn cnty if any. Even septic tanks are becoming a rare thing.

I can't believe they brought sewers into my town. Didn't think that would ever happen. I live on a solid mountain top 1000' above sea level. But they did it. Wish they brought natural gas in at the same time, but that would have made sense...

 

I still have a private well though...

$3/gal is actually really cheap now. I remember when it was about $0.45 a gallon!! I talked to a truck driver from NJ and he told me that New Jersey almost banned it because truck drivers were mixing it with diesel and not paying the state fuel taxes. I guess now it's on par with diesel prices....
