Yes, but the real question should be is: What will be the cost of home heating oil come Dec 1st - after the election? I was paying $4.36 LAST winter.

I see electric space heaters burning up my banked KW from my solar panels.;)

Our lock-in occurs in July for the heating oil company we use. So we locked in about 2 weeks ago. The price is $5.149. We have price protection, so if the oil price dropped at the time of delivery, we get the lower rate. But still, we paid $2.899 for our lock-in last year. OUCH!!!

In CT on Saturday, lowest was $4.09 (some stations were $4.29). In MA I saw a sign on a pump (Shell) for $3.89 and stopped to fill up, BUT I didn't see the TINY sign on the pump that said $3.89 was the CASH ONLY price until after I'd swiped my debit card and started pumping :mad:. I really paid $4.09. I hope this isn't going to be a trend--I don't like to carry that much cash anymore since I can use my debit card just about everywhere.

Still over 4.00. I paid 4.06 at BJ's on Saturday but it was up again to 4.09 on Sunday.
Even the Indian Reservation gas prices are not low enough to entice many people to drive the distance.

Aussie dog, where in Raleigh did you find gas for $3.68? I live there and the cheapest I've seen it is $3.78 at Wal-Mart.

I just wonder what the national average would be if we took CA & NY out of the mix?

While I am very pleased that there seems to be a drop, I sure hope that this issue doesn't get put on the back burner like it did in the 1970's.

I don't want this to be political, but it's time that we fix our dependence on foreign oil once and for all.

Good friends of ours live in your neck of the woods - they now spend the winters in FL - they either live in WRJ and his office was in Wilder, or vice versa. She brought me a book on the seasons in Vt and it looks just beautiful.

Unfortunately oil is a global commodity. Even if we produce more oil domestically, it would still cost the same. Producers here won't sell it cheaper in the USA if they can sell it on the global market for more.

Mods-If this is considered political, please feel free to delete it.

Oh, I agree with that. I just think it's time that we look long and hard at breaking our reliance on foreign oil. Even if it costs more, less or the same, it's better to keep the $ here, then sending it some of our less friendly neighbors. :)

And I just saw $4.19 at a local station that was $4.25 this AM.
