Ewing is the township wrapped around Trenton’s northwestern side, and it is three ZIP codes that have very little in common: 08618 running down to the city line, 08638 through Ewingville in the middle, and 08628 out along the river past Scudders Falls. The College of New Jersey and Trenton-Mercer Airport are both here, and so are about 1,850 oil-heated homes — more than any other town we deliver to in New Jersey.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Ewing run off Olden Avenue, Parkway Avenue, Pennington Road, Bear Tavern Road, Lower Ferry Road, Scotch Road, River Road, Ewingville Road and Parkside Avenue.
The post-war streets are easy — driveway, side fill, done. The two things worth a note are the older river-side properties off Lower Ferry and River Road, where the tank may be buried, and the streets immediately behind Olden Avenue, which are narrow and parked on both sides in the evening.

Tanks in Ewing homes
Overwhelmingly post-war: brick and frame capes, ranchers and split-levels put up between the late 1940s and the early 60s for people leaving Trenton, on small regular lots with driveways. Almost all of them have a 275 in the basement, and in the older sections nearer the city line the fill is often on a side wall a few feet from the neighbor’s. Out toward the river the lots get larger and the houses older, and buried tanks start to appear.

Buying heating oil in Ewing
Ewing is the biggest oil market we have in New Jersey by a wide margin — 1,852 of 27,086 households, 6.8% — and it is very unevenly spread. 08638 through Ewingville runs 10.3%, one home in ten, while 08618 down by the city line is 4.9%. The money is spread just as unevenly: the median household income is about $48,000 in 08618 and about $101,000 in 08628, two ends of the same township. That is a real reason to publish a price rather than quote one over the phone — the same gallon should not cost more because of which end you live in. Prices move daily with the wholesale rack, which is why the number above is today’s and not last week’s. Local dealers compete on this page, so the lowest price is always at the top — we don’t sell placement above a better price.
How much oil do you need in Ewing?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. You pay only for the gallons that actually go in, and if the tank takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.
Heating oil in Ewing — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Ewing, NJ?+
Yes, to all three of its ZIPs — 08618, 08628 and 08638 — which between them cover West Trenton, Ewingville, Scudders Falls and the streets down to the Trenton line.
Do the three Ewing ZIPs cost the same?+
Not necessarily. Each ZIP is priced against what is actually being quoted there rather than against a township average, so 08618, 08628 and 08638 can differ. The figure on this page is the best of the three for a 100-gallon order; your own ZIP page shows yours exactly.
Which part of Ewing has the most oil heat?+
08638, through Ewingville and the streets north of Parkway Avenue: 938 of 9,129 homes, about one in ten. 08618 nearer the city line is half that at 4.9%, and 08628 out by the river is 5.7%.
What tank does a Ewing house usually have?+
A 275 in the basement, in the great majority of the post-war capes and ranchers, with the fill on a side wall. The older properties out along River Road and Lower Ferry Road are the exception and some of those are buried.
What is the minimum delivery in Ewing?+
100 gallons, as everywhere in New Jersey. From a low 275 that is well under a fill, so most orders here run 180 to 220 gallons.
