I'm waiting for the end of the year to see how much my costs have risen this year. Quick look at heating is about 15%, though that might change.

Our heating bill in Virginia is higher than all these frozen tundra states ?

How did that happen?

While Arizona and Hawaii aren’t surprising to find at the bottom of the list, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont aren’t exactly tropical, warm environments. How are the gas bills so low? Residents in those states rely far less on natural gas to heat their homes, according to the Census. All three use fuel oil as the leading source of heat energy, according to the EIA, but they also rely on wood burning, propane and some electricity.

Air pumps vs furnaces… Yay, efficiency…

We had a massive increase (like 4 times the price) earlier in the year using fuel oil but it seems to have calmed down of late
