Newtown splits cleanly in two: the borough around State and Sycamore Streets, one of the best-preserved eighteenth-century streetscapes in Bucks County, and Newtown Township around it, which is mostly colonials built since the bypass went in.

How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Newtown run off the Newtown Bypass (PA Route 332), PA Route 413, Interstate 295, Newtown-Yardley Road, Durham Road and Sycamore Street.
State and Sycamore are tight with angled parking and the borough side streets are narrow, so borough deliveries run better outside the lunch trade.

Tanks in Newtown homes
Borough houses are genuinely old — eighteenth and nineteenth-century brick and stone on deep narrow lots, stone-walled basements, and tanks that have often been down there a very long time. The township developments from the 1980s onward are larger colonials where the tank is usually a 275 or 330 in a finished basement corner or in the garage.
Nearby: Tyler State Park, Washington Crossing Historic Park and New Hope and the river towns to the north.

Buying heating oil in Newtown
Newtown is a mixed market: the borough is old, oil-heavy and buys in modest amounts, while the township developments that never converted to gas order in larger volumes. Because the bypass makes the area quick to reach from lower Bucks, dealers based nearer Levittown quote here too, which usually means more than a couple of prices on the page. 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 Newtown?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. Tell us your tank size and what the gauge reads and we’ll warn you before you pay if the tank won’t take it all. You’re charged only for the gallons that actually go in, and if it takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.
Heating oil in Newtown — common questions
My house in the borough is two hundred years old. Can you still deliver?+
Yes. The age of the house is not the issue — a reachable fill pipe and a working vent whistle are. On the older State Street properties the pipe is sometimes on a side or rear wall rather than the front, so tell us where it is and the stop goes smoothly.
Do you cover Newtown Township as well as the borough?+
Both. 18940 takes in the borough and the township developments — Newtown Grant, Tyler Walk, Eagleton Farms and the rest — and the same dealers cover all of it.
Is oil still common in Newtown, or is everyone on gas?+
Gas reached a lot of the newer township developments, but the borough and the older outlying properties are still heavily oil, and plenty of the 1980s colonials never converted. If you have a fill pipe, you are in the right place.
My tank is in the garage. Does that affect the delivery?+
Not usually — the fill pipe still comes through an outside wall. What matters is that the driver can reach it and hear the vent alarm. If the garage is detached, or the pipe sits behind a gate, a note at checkout saves a wasted trip.
Do you deliver into Newtown Grant and the other developments?+
Yes. 18940 covers Newtown Borough and the township developments including Newtown Grant, Tyler Walk, Eagleton Farms and Wiltshire Walk.
How much oil does a Newtown township colonial use?+
The 1980s and 90s colonials are larger than the borough houses and usually run a 275 or 330, often 800 to 1,100 gallons across a season. Borough houses use noticeably less.
Is Newtown far enough out to affect the price or the delivery day?+
Not meaningfully. The bypass makes it quick to reach from lower Bucks, so dealers based nearer Levittown quote here too, and you will normally see more than a couple of prices.
My fill pipe is on the street side of a historic house. Is that a problem?+
No, it is often the easiest kind of stop. What matters on State and Sycamore is parking, so borough deliveries tend to run better outside the middle of the day.
Also in Newtown: oil burner tune-ups, chimney cleaning and automatic delivery.
