How Come No One Is Talking About Home Heating Oil Breaking $6.00 Per Gallon ?

Paid $5.65 a gallon to top off the tank Saturday.
It only took 100 gallons, thank God.

Thanks a ton Biden.

Who heats their house in the summer?

Have you ever heard of an electric heater?

Duh

I have a 4 bedroom home on 3 acres in a beautiful rural area and use heating oil.

Still not a concern for most.

Maybe upgrade to something else. Instead of complaining.

That is all this place has become, whiners lmao

Care to point out where it was that you saw me complaining or would you rather go back to your other hobby...which apparently is

You are famous here for complaining, endlessly. Not a secret.

And you are the one with homo memes, lmao

Becuase itis summer time. Gee's

Ok so you're just going back to your hobby...

Lol….really struck me funny….thank you.

I live in a rural farming town in the upper midwest. We all have propane tanks. No gas lines out here.

The vast majority of people in rural new england use home heating oil because we're quite far from the country's propane sources.

83% of all heating oil is consumed in the northeast. It's a very densely populated area and most either use oil or firewood.

It's a big concern for everyone in that region of the world.

There you go. The northeast.

Fuck the northeast.

by winter, you'll be dead from vax, so won't be a problem.

.

Get a wood stove, I cut off my neighbors place last year I prolly used 4-5 ricks and we heated with it exclusively. I started oct with 45% in my propane tank and still have 40% left.

They cannot take the wood away and I need no electricity to stay warm.

There's lots of ways to heat a house, but for transportation on any reasonable scale, there's only gas and diesel.

Did you wipe your chin off before you typed that...

I top off my 500 gal propane tank ONCE A YEAR - in the heat of the Summer when prices are at their lowest - sometimes early in the fall because the min load that they will deliver is 200 gals. Last Winter my (secondary) propane heating system krapped out- so I don't know when I will be topping my tank off - because I barely used any - for my stove, water heater and dryer - even though they only fill 80% of the tank - I only used 35% - and could probably go another year (or 2) without having to fill it - if "global warming" is real LOL

I am seriously considering buying a propane generator to replace my gasoline gen - because it's easier to store propane than gas (and Rita taught us that they will confiscate gas gens) ... and I can read the handwriting on the wall - and I just can't imagine life without electricity - even though I have a wood stove (in the garage) and plenty of wood - for a dire emergency - it appears that I might have to use it - if Biden remains in office. ( I refuse to be a victim of the NWO) - no doubt they will "engineer" cloud cover to deal with those who use solar power - the wind is already too strong for a personal wind turbine system.

I trust that there will be enough unvaxxed still living, to correct the globalist's power grab - before I run out of propane .

PS. I just replaced all my (sheer)curtains with extra long "thermal" drapes - to save on energy costs. My house is built out of block and earth-bermed on three sides - so my heating costs are already minimal - with two space heater keeping it toasty - HA

Turn your eyes to BlackRock and Vanguard, then the oil CEOs, then the politicians. Begin to make these bastards uncomfortable for their compliance. Beat your war drums, they drew first blood and now let them reap their just rewards. Be real committed because what they have planned for you is terminal. You have nothing to lose than stand and run them through, make sure you stare them in the eye.

Caulk up any leaky windows as well.

Not really that much of a shock when you consider the price of other fuels per gallon aren't far off. Prepare for an expensive winter next year. Might want to get yourself a bigger tank and slowly fill it during the summer as funds are available then draw it down in the winter.

Very good advice!

WOW!! I live in Lancaster. Luckily we had our tank fill when it was still around $3.60 last year..

that is crazy!

A good start would be to prohibit the exportation of diesel fuel while the United States in in crisis. But no. Instead, they allow refiners to export out of the gulf and East Coast as fast as they possibly can because Europe pays better.

Fucking criminal. When gov't SHOULD get involved, they do nothing and watch the fire burn.

I totally agree - they are like a bunch of baby birds, squawking til their open mouths are filled with vomit - they can't even feed themselves much less stay warm (or fly)

$400 per month this winter

Been trying to top off my propane tank but they have a 100 gallon minimum and my tank isn't that low yet.

$1.85 per gal April 2020
$2.55 Jan 2022
$2.55 just called today, delivered 100 gal minimum

Costs me around $500 for home heating for one winter at the current price.

Whoa careful there your compassion for your fellow human is nearly overflowing...

On natural gas….paid $280 for the Winter

Acquaintance BUILT a house in northern Ohio, the cold part of the state NOT southern Ohio. He built it with WINTER HEATING in mind.

About 3000sf and his WINTER heat bills for his WORST month evry year are around $75/mo, a good chunk of that being for the hot water his family uses, and he does NOT use a wood stove, just a regular nat gas furnace. Typically a new build house of his size in that climate with the new modern gas furnaces would still cost $400 -$500/mo, some a few hundred more

BUILD IT RIGHT from the get go for energy conservation and you can dramatically cut the cost of heating your place. In his case outer wall studs are 6" and he used higher density insulation than most. Window are triple paned with argon gas I think it is between the panes. OH ... and LOTS of them South Facing to collect the sun in the winter time, at least when it shines in gloomy northern Ohio in the winter.

The list of things he did goes on a bit more ... double entranceway into the house so no drafts flowig into the house when someone come in from outside ... well insulated foundation ... very heavy insulation in the attic ... double wrapped to stop air leaks ... so on and so forth.

He uses so little gas that the gas company came out three different time to try to see if he was STEALING gas from them via some tap on his drop line or on a neighbor's line ... and then they had the electric company come out and see if he was stealing electricity from the electric company to heat his place (they came out twice). NOPE ... all legit. When he went to build he studied up on it and went whole hog on heating engergy saving. Said it added about 3%-5% to the cost, but well worth it, has made his money back in spades plus it will have a higher resale value.

Lesson? INSULATE INSULATE INSULATE!! North facing breaks in the wall should be SMALL but LOTS of south facing windows to make the place light and airy and bring in heat producing sunshine. Super energy efficient triple paned gas filled windows.

After talking to him I concluded IF one just pays attention when one is first building a place one can save oodles on heating. If you buy an existing house adding attic and wall insulation is a virtual MUST in this day of high northern heating bills.
