DC, another scam..OIL, our home was heated with oil, and it was our choice..heating oil when we built was .89 a gallon, and that was 2001, even thru the winter of 2005 it was never over 1.59 a gallon..Then Katrina hit, folks just dont budget that much for the costs of oil, it was ridiculous thru the winter..200 for electric, and 400+ for oil..That was for Dec, Jan, Feb & 1/2 of March.. I dont feel bad at all having 300 a month electric bills to get us through, June, July & August & September, Heck the bill I just paid this morning was 100 less than last months bill. Good luck with that oil, and keep up on that oil burner maintenance
