Maryland Bulk Fuel Discount

  • Maryland has been negotiating bulk fuel dealer discounts on behalf of low-income households since 1985. Since the late 1980's, it has obtained a 3 percent discount off current retail oil prices for LIHEAP recipients; in 1991, coal, propane and wood vendors were added to the discount program.
