Time to break out the sweater.

I just paid $389.9 per gallon for home heating oil in Northern Virginia. Anyone else have a comparative price?
I guess I should watch my decimals. Make that $3.899.
You sure you got your decimal in the right place?
Guilty. I corrected it just above your post.
It’s 3.499 here in NH. I switched to pellets last year. Best decision ever made.
Sounds like a rip. The price for automobile diesel is 3.95 national average. That includes fed/state taxes which are not included in heating oil, along w/that red dye.

HOPEY CHANGEY!
Make that $3.899.
In Germany that could be read as 3,899
Here in WA we are paying $4.11 for diesel (heating oil is clear diesel with no dye). I use 100 gallons a day. It was up to $4.30 a while ago.
It must have been virgin heating oil.
Thank Zer0 for not drilling in the US region and not approving additional pipeline capacity from Canada.

I just paid $260.00 for a hundred gallons of propane.
That heats & cooks for the whole year.
You need to check prices through out the year. During winter and going into winter are almost guaranteed to be the times of the highest prices.
Now that we’re exporting diesel that may have changed.
That's great. I use about 1000 gallons a season for a boiler/furnace combo.
I paid 40 cents less per gallon here in Ohio.
You burn 100 gallons a day of heating oil to keep your house warm? Heating oil has about 140,000 BTUs per gallon.
If you live in far north US, you might need 50 BTUs per square foot. So if you have a 2500 sf home, that’s about 125,000 btus. So you’d burn about 21 gallons a day.
If you are burning 100 gallons a day, you probably need to fix your insulation. You’d save thousands of dollars by doing so.
$3.499 a gallon in Cincinnati. Glad I dodged that this year.
We had two 375 gallon oil tanks in the basement. It would take 4-5 fill ups a year to heat this house.
Just got done with a geo-thermal system with two power units (5 and 6 tons.)
Our total electric bill for geo, lights, fridge, oven, tv’s, everything was $275 last month.
I’m no greenie but geo is the way to go!
