Starting July 1, as part of the on-going effort to make our state and way-of-life more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, all home heating oil must contain a 5% biodiesel mix. The mix will be purchased from restaurants across the state and will be mixed prior to home delivery (and it comes at no additional cost to homeowners!)
