Probably yes. But still, when you are on automatic and run out of oil they shouldn't argue with you when you beg for oil. Do they think you are so stupid you don't know that you are out? Just because their degree days or whatever say you shouldn't be out? Or when you had a bad storm and your generator has been running for days but they didn't seem to know we had a storm here because they didn't have it in Concord. That's why it's too bad all the local companies are disappearing. I deal with every single small local company that I can.
