Tankers will be increasing their visits to the Fore River to drop supplies of home heating oil into storage tanks like these in Quincy Point to ready the supplies. The Northeast is one of the few places in our country that relies heavily on oil to heat their homes. Our heating season runs from October through March.

This picture was taken of one of the behemoth oil tanks from Sprague Energy tank farm located just behind the lighthouse gas station on the Southern Artery and Town River.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how much the No.6 fuel in one of these tanks must be worth?
