Maine Bulk Fuel DiscountThe state negotiates annually with oil dealers and receives the cash price rather than the credit price for oil for LIHEAP recipients, providing them an average savings of 10 to 12 cents per gallon. A new program began in 2007 under which dealers have two options: they can offer LIHEAP customers a discount of 4 to 7 cents per gallon or they can charge a margin over their wholesale price, from 28 to 37 cents per gallon depending on the vendor´s location.
