Holy sh*t. What temp do these average people keep their house's at, 90deg?
Damn, my house is a little bit under 1,000sq ft and if I use more then one 275 gallon tankful in an entire year, then I'm doing something wrong. In fact this year I'm installing a small wood burning stove to help offset the raising cost of fuel oil.
I burn about 250-300 but I also have about 1,000 sq ft. I suspect a lot of places that burn oil are older homes that are not very well insulated. Most newer homes around here use natural gas.
