$3.13/gal * 150 gallons = $470...

Discuss.

$2.44 * 167 gallons = 407

looks like i'm using about 80 gallons a month

ScrapinSTi · 12-30-2007, 11:29 AM

I made it almost 3 months... Which means I'm using about 60/mo...

And when did you buy that you got it for 2.44?

briansol · 12-30-2007, 06:00 PM

about a month after i moved in.... so mid october?

i got probably 30 letters in the mail from all random places offering me th best deal. this was one was. i'm capped that until july

also, my hot water is on the furnace as well... i don't have an electric one at all.

oh so you have an auto fill contract? or did you prepay?

briansol · 12-31-2007, 12:59 PM

i'm on auto delivery, and have a 1 year service contract for $75 which includes just about everything that could break on the furnace free of charge (including both parts and labor). My furnace is merely 10 years old, so i'm a much less risk to them i guess.

they are pretty good about it. i've only gotten 2 deliveries since i've been here. They said it will be more often at first until they get a better idea of how much i use, and so on.

I have a 275 gal tank, so both fill ups were only a little more than half

Yeah..I have to call later this week to get oil delivered....not looking forward to it.

We are using roughly 75 gal a month. Not bad considering my house is over 50 yrs old and isn't insulated very well.

Yeah... I REALLY need to cover up the windows... I'm willing to bet i'm losing ALOT through my kitchen windows... I cant wait to replace them...
