We leverage the collective gallons of our members into negotiating power to provide lower rate structures for:

• Propane

• Fuel Oil

• Kerosene

NSG has negotiated a market rate structure for all three products with Suburban Propane. All three products rates are a price index + fixed margin structure. The benefit to this type of price structure is that your pricing follows the market consistently.  If the market goes up $.10 your rate goes up.  Likewise if the market goes down.  Under normal circumstances, you have no control over how your supplier is establishing your rate; when they increase / decrease it or by how much.

In 2025, our propane members paid an average of $1.19 / gallon less than the VT reported average retail rate.  You can email us with dates you received a delivery and we can tell you what you would have paid through our group.  This will allow you to compare our rates to your current suppliers for you to calculate your personal potential savings.

Other than your rate structure, nothing else changes.  Suburban will deliver to you on an automatic delivery basis and bill you for the number of gallons delivered at our member rate that day. 

We offer our members a limited opportunity to lock in at a fixed pre-buy in the early summer.  This is typically available June and July. It is up to the individual member whether they stay on our market rate or opt to lock in at the fixed pre-buy.

The membership fee is $39 a year for each fill location you have.  For example, if you have one propane tank or one oil tank, it is $39 / year.  If you have one propane tank and one oil tank, it is $78 / year.  Our year always ends May 31st; no matter when you join.  

Enrollment remains open throughout the year. We notify Suburban of our new members every Monday.
