    Whattcha paying for heating oil??

    I'm curious how this heating bill is affecting everyone.

    I paid 803$ for my oil yesterday @ 3.20 a gallon. Thankfully I got a good Xmas bonus and if it's not too cold this can last 2 months in the Northeast US.

    I was down to 1 1/2"s of oil in my tank, checking it with a pole. I was hoping it would drop a couple weeks back when the barrel hit 90$ again. But of course, that savings didn't get passed along to us.........

    This is just wrong. What about these people on fixed incomes? The couple down the road has there heat at 50 degrees, they can't afford another tank this winter.

    How are we gonna live in another 20 years? Our pay (for most of us) simply cannot keep up with the cost of living.
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    Yeah it is getting crazy. These days 10 bucks an hour is minimum wage, and anyone making under that has a very hard time just keeping their head above water. I"m a strong advocate for alternitive fuels, but that's not going to happen as long as the oil companies own the goverment.

    i remember when i used to have a house with a buddy of mine, we didn't have a heater. there were points in the winter where we put our beer in the fridge to keep it from freezing.

    i don't really use my heater these days...not much need this winter, the average temp is 75...damn louisiana.

    I heat my home with a pellet stove. But that has gone up to $5.00 a bag. Now it costs between $100 and $120 a month.

    My oil tank just cost 1180.00 to fill ....357 gallons in my 550 gallon tank at 3.30 per gallon...I have three other propane tanks on the property and its getting real expensive
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    Amen brother!!

    Want hear my crazy idea??

    Shut down the borders, no one in and no one out. No importing and no exporting. Drill for our own fuel, or find alternative fuel sources.

    Become an entirely independent and self supporting country.

    They'll be jobs for everyone.

    These F#$!@$ retail stores are paying 1$ a shirt and selling them for 50$. It's bloody theft, right in front of our eyes.....

    Got filled last month for 394GBP ( roughly $777 ) and this should last for 3-4 months, it's maybe 4-5 during summertime.

    Am I working it out that yours is roughly 70 cents a litre?

    Over here it's averaging 41 pence per litre which means their much of a muchness...

    I thought you guys paid far less for oil and petrol....

    Thats what I was curious about - people in the other countries. Not to mention that we have a few members in Alaska and I wonder what they do for heat and what it costs??
