Just in case everyone in the world doesn’t know this already: if you are a member of a coop or credit union, and you buy your home heating oil from Coop Fuels, you qualify for their Member Rebate Program:

As a member of a co-op or credit union on PEI you will receive a rebate of 3.0 cents per litre. You will also receive a GST refund (on the amount of the rebate) on all your heating fuel purchased from Co-op Fuels Ltd.

We’ve been benefiting from this program for 15 heating seasons, and it’s not an insubstantial windfall: our last bill of the winter season, in May, is usually half of what it would have been otherwise.
