I pre-bought all my oil this year at 2.19 a gallon so the heat hasn't been concerning me as much this year as last. We locked in last year too but the bills in the winter stink so I prepaid it in the fall and got a good price.

WEEWEE Get programmable thermostats and use them on every zone. Get the ones with the highest number of program cycles along with 7 day. Use it aggressively and you will see significant savings. We saved over a tank of oil last year alone and that was before we did the last zone upstairs. The nice thing is you can set it to go to all different levels in multiple times during the day and then drop to 60 at nite if the zone isn't needed or during the day if it's not needed then.
