None! Only use oil for HW...

burn about 4.5 cords of wood ($125/cord). House stays TOASTY warm (when my wife has her way HOT, I've been known to open windows to cool it down from her escapades).

Wood is allot more work, obviously, but since my wife is:
1. unable to work.
2. ALWAYS cold.
3. sick.
4. home all day.

If I had to keep the house as warm as she likes/needs it I'd burn through 200-300 gallons a month. No way I could afford that.
