anyone have any idea what the automatic delivery non lock price per gallon for fuel oil is?
I only burned 122.7 gallons this winter.
This is the coldest winter we have had in years! How did you burn so little? At our old house we were burning through 200+ gallons a month! It was old and inefficient as all get out. I love my natural gas now!

Thanks $349 since beginning of December isn't bad.

Seriously, I believe he burns his wood stove. Ott and I have used very little oil as well, we supplement by using our wood stoves in the evening and on weekend.
Well that would explain it.
I was spending more than $600.00 a month at one point in time for oil. I think it ruined me for ever having an oil furnace again.

2 years ago I put in over $4K in new windows and weather stripped. HUGE difference. Southern Maryland Windows and Siding (Advertisers here) did it and they were awesome. Noticed the difference right away.
We had a lot of wood this year from trees I cleared and the neighbors so we burned quite a bit on weekends. I was bracing for a big bill in Feb so this was quite a surprise. If I replaced my old furnace with a newer one that is more efficient it might even get better. I just checked and I wrote the last check to SMO on 12/7 and it was $329 so I burn roughly just under 300 gallons a year.

It is not. I have a programmable thermostat set to 68 when we are home and 63 at night and when we are gone.
On weekends we use the wood stove some times. This year a bit more. I don't use the wood stove during the week because it is a pain and it is only the boy and I so its not worth it.

Just bought oil from Burch @ $2.8990. We live in a 50 year old house and have only burnt 179 gals. this year. Just had a second delivery of 150. - should last the winter.
New windows, five year old HVAC, programmable thermostat (the biggest bang for the buck), every time we went to Lowes we picked up a busted roll of insulation and put it in the attic. Case after case of caulking! We have a fireplace - never use it - like having a hole it the wall.
I forgot one thing, this house has no insulation in the walls. Just that old time black panel stuff.
