Unfortunately, the graph below is more accurate on heating oil prices. Right now - Sep 17 - it’s basically twice ($5.06) what it cost when Biden left.
These prices obviously fluctuate, but I doubt demand for heating oil in the NE is going down in the coming months, barring an extremely warm winter, I guess. I won’t pretend to know what will happen on the supply side but it’s pretty clear that donnie doesn’t give a fuck about anyone struggling to pay for it.
So I’ve never lived somewhere with heating oil used. I tried to look it up and saw that during the cold months houses could use 150-250 gallons of oil… Is that right? That would be ~$1200 I would assume from December-March for many people…
I can’t remember how big our tank was, but years ago, one year we emptied our tank really quick in a rented house with single pane windows that we hadn’t put up plastic coverings over the windows. We didn’t do that again lol.

When does baseboard heaters with electricity become cheaper to heat?
Heating oil average in NY as-of today is over $6/gal. Absolutely nuts.

Yeah, easy if that’s your only source of heat. I also have heat pumps and a wood stove, so hopefully will not need to fill up my tank this winter. 🤞
