    July 28th I paid 189.9 (300+ gallons price break)
    I am planning on using less than 300 gallons for the year
    Could be much worse. The gas drilling has helped here.

    68 cents total now. highest in the nation
    actually went up about 10 cents this year and will go up again in 2017

    Pa doesn't tax heating oil on your primary residence, but, it does if it's a second residence ie; rental, summer home, second home, ect

    Until I read they only tax your secondary residence I thought it was really bad to tax fuel for the home you live in. It's also bad to tax any heating fuel, even in a secondary residence. Heating is a necessity, not a luxury. Should at least be tax deductible.

    Without a doubt, heating is a necessity. A second home, not so much.
    Is that good enough reason to tax it? No way !!!

    You're right. It's unreal how many creative ways we can be taxed. Let's not get started down this road, though. :headbang:

    Our oil tank took 120.5 gallons at $2.199, it was our first delivery since 2009, Dec. I think.
