Those number sound about right for my oil bills last year. I just filled my tank today and it was about $800. Hopefully with all the weatherproofing I've done/will do, and a large supply of FSC firewood, I'll only need that one tank to keep the house from freezing when I'm not home. Last year I filled my tank once a month through the winter. An important tip (that I'll be doing) for those in older homes is to check around the sills into your basement for leaks. A very cheap fix if your sills aren't in great shape is to line the perimeter of your house with bales of hay to insulate against driving winds. In the spring you can reuse the hay in your compost pile or to be tilled into your garden. <abbr><em>Mike@EasyGreensys last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/easygreensy/~3/H9R_wZZknGU/" rel="nofollow">Help Run The 1Sky Ad During The Final Debate</a></abbr></em> Hey Linda, Great tips for us up here in the North.

Our propane bill last year was pretty high, so we're not looking forward to what it may creep up to this year. Everyone will be wearing sweatshirts and thick socks in our house this winter!
