Lawrenceville is the old village on the Princeton Pike, and 08648 is Lawrence Township around it — from Brunswick Pike and the Quaker Bridge road across to Port Mercer and the canal. The village itself is a single long street of eighteenth and nineteenth-century houses; almost everything else in the ZIP was built after the war.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Lawrenceville run off Princeton Pike, Brunswick Pike, Quaker Bridge Road, Lawrenceville Road, Main Street, Franklin Corner Road, Federal City Road and Province Line Road.
Main Street through the village is narrow, busy and has houses hard against the pavement, so there is often nowhere to stand except the street itself. The post-war developments off it are straightforward by comparison — driveway, side fill, no fuss.

Tanks in Lawrenceville homes
Two distinct stocks. The village street is colonial and federal, brick and frame, close to the road with cellars beneath. Everything off it — Eldridge Park, Colonial Lakes, Slackwood — is post-war cape and rancher on a regular lot with a driveway, and those are where most of the tanks are: a 275 in the basement with the fill on a side wall.

Buying heating oil in Lawrenceville
Lawrenceville is a large ZIP with a small oil share: 390 of 11,553 households, 3.4%. That is the signature of a town that converted early and thoroughly, and what is left is scattered — the village houses, and pockets in the older developments. Scattered is exactly the case for buying online rather than waiting to be called on: nobody is running a dense route past your door here, and the price should not be set as though somebody were. 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 Lawrenceville?
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 Lawrenceville — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Lawrenceville, NJ?+
Yes, to 08648, which is Lawrence Township — the village, Eldridge Park, Colonial Lakes, Slackwood and Port Mercer. Princeton is 08540 and 08542 and has its own page.
Is Lawrenceville the same as Lawrence Township?+
For ordering, yes. Lawrenceville is the village and Lawrence Township is the municipality around it, and both share 08648, so the price and the delivery are the same whichever name is on your mail.
Only a few hundred homes here use oil. Is it still worth ordering online?+
That is exactly why it is. 390 of 11,553 households burn oil here, which is too few for anybody to run a dense route past your door — so the local price tends to go unchallenged unless you check it.
My house is on Main Street with no driveway. Where does the truck go?+
It stops in the street as near level with the fill as it can get and runs hose from there. That is standard through the village; a note about anywhere it cannot legally stand saves a second visit.
What is the minimum order in Lawrenceville?+
100 gallons, the same across New Jersey. Most 08648 houses have a 275-gallon basement tank, so a fill from low usually runs 180 to 220 gallons.
