i hear ya...
during the last week i took some 1 inch thick styrene board insulation i got for free (off of Craig's list free section)
3 sheets worth ($14.00 bucks each @ home depot) and cut the exact size for an unused front door and all the windows on the North
(shaded side of the house) except for the last foot (12 inches) of window at the top to still let in some light and it made a world of difference. |

Usually 250 gallons for a 1200 sq ft apartment. No insulation, but all the windows are plastic wrapped.
Not this year!!! I bought a small room heater at Costco that costs me $40 a month to run in electric bills...haven't turned my oil on once.
Now those of you who know me, know that we cook almost every day at home and the apartment is usually in the low 60's.
I'd much rather spend $300 for the season in electric, than spend $750 for oil.
I can't be the only one who's cutting back on the oil, so demand MUST be down...I hardly ever see oil trucks on the road anymore...I guarantee that there's gouging going on at the dealer's end...nice guys. Hope all the oil dealers strat looking into another way to make money, cause if it goes any higher I'll never buy oil again.
Later,
