I just showed my latest oil bill to my wife yesterday and she almost fell over. I used to constantly tell her to watch what she set the thermostat at because of the oil prices, but she never listened. She thought it was o.k. to have the house warm enough for tee shirts and shorts year round and kept the heat high when she went out for the day. Now that she actually saw what it cost to fill the tank, I think the reality set in. She turned the heat down to 68 degrees and put on a sweatshirt and fleece running pants. I should have shown her the bill years ago. Frankly, I'd be fine with the heat set at 65 degrees, but I feel like I won a big battle here, so I'm not complaining.
