    No gas for me either here, even though we're less than a mile from the Trans Canada pipeline.
    If I had to go with oil and keep it the same temps. inside as I do now, I'd be looking at 3 to 4 thousand dollars per winter. I'm not about to do that.

    We contract ours in the summer too. 1.29 is pretty good. Where are you located?

    We saved too much on the heat bill this year. We should run the oil furnace more often.
