A model where the dealer tracks your fuel use — from heating degree days and your home's k-factor — and schedules refills before you run low, so you never watch the gauge. You pay the dealer's price on the day of delivery.
It removes run-out risk and is standard with full-service dealers, but you give up control over exactly when you buy (you can't easily time a low).
