Despite recent mild temperatures, colder days — and higher heating bills — are still on their way, according to a forecast released Tuesday by the federal government.
Heating oil consumers can expect to pay a record high average of $2,544 to warm their homes this winter, about $450 more than last year, according to an analysis by the Energy Information Administration.

Ours is more like $3500 for a 3000 sq ft house ... Goes up every year, and that's with two wood burning stoves and mild weather.
People do want their MacMansions. We have an 1100 sq. foot house, all gas (hot water, dryer, cooking and heat). During the winter we keep the temp at 68 during the day and 62 at night. Our bill for the year for all is only $1,200. So to all the people who are crying about their heating bill, you wanted the bigger house now you have to pay for it.
