Wood has always been cheaper than oil

Heating oil is essentially diesel fuel. There is a shortage of diesel fuel right now. Google “diesel fuel shortage” for more information.

I have used pump diesel in the past to heat my house.
It was usually more per gallon than HHO but in a pinch it works fine.

Heating oil trading 10 cents higher today wholesale. That should be almost a buck retail. Enjoy!

Maybe the winter will be mild. I heard some long range forecasts that suggested it might be. I haven’t used heat so far this fall. I don’t use heat as long as my home is in the 60s and I actually prefer cooler indoor temps. The weather forecast is temps in the 60s all week.

Government controls the weather.
This is all coordinated.

New York and New England start RATIONING heating oil before winter as stockpiles slump by 70% and fears rise that families will be left in the cold. Lovely.
