As mentioned by the other people here, lots of snake oil being sold out there now days!

we oiled and oiled them after we installed them and were so careful to clean water up quickly so they would not stain, that I thought personally they would be a pain. 

I suggest east around lemon grove, El Cajon, you can try Escondido and Temecula.Good luck!

What happens if oil prices keep going down or stay where it is, what are the projections?

When considering a rental property (I'm looking at duplex) that has oil heating, do you account for the price of tank refills separately, or just consider it as part of normal maintenance/CapEx? 

Also, manufacturers because of the fluctuations in the oil prices, sometimes use lower quality materials.  

But mostly oil, gas, and coal areas.

I have also heard that the economic effects of the low oil price has had little impact on housing.

If you drive through a 30 mile desert every day, and can't check your oil by yourself, you probably shouldn't get a 200k mile beater.

It always seems to start with how he is an oil engineer with 4 buddies who finally get a vacation and we are the lucky winners!
