    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…

      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. 🤞

      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.
