I save a little more then 100 dollars buying now and in bulk. The quality of the pellets is better off the pallet. The more they get handled the more dust is created in side the back, small holes get poked in the bag letting moisture get the the pellets. The lower quality the pellets the more corrective maintenance I have to do.
The first year I had the stove I did that, buy the pellets a week at a time. The auger keep plugging up with dust, wife was unhappy waking up to a cold house, and I was unhappy with cleaning the thing. This was a little less then weekly. I started buying yearly, and my monthly maintenance was enough to prevent any problems. When the pellets are dry the fuel burns hotter keeping the glass door, burn box, and heating tubes cleaner. That is why I buy yearly, same time in maintenance, a little bit of cash, most importantly the wife is happy.I do think your wrong about car going away completely, I think they will just be regulated out of large cities, and maybe some of the more liberal states. There are still places were there are 400 miles between cities, and electric car will be hard pressed to make it reliably, and the cities are too small to be worth building public transportation.
I have a wood pellet stove, every year I have to rent a truck (1/2 ton) and make 4 trips, maybe three miles through town for the fule. If I could have them put the entire 2000lb pallet in a trailer that would save a lot of time, and some cash. I would not need to go over 35 MPR. Both car have a curb weight over 3000lb.
