Barry Ritholtz just had his heating oil delivery and the price was a nice $435.52. Ouch. Barry is right, many are going to be in for a rude surprise if they haven’t been following the heating oil/natural gas issue lately.

So I should get a bill next month for all the gas we’ve been using. Erk.
Anderson,
If the bill is very large, call them up, politely explain that they screwed up and ask for a payment plan. If they get prissy about it, start talking about taking it to your local public utility comission for them to figure out. However, chances are it wont get that far. Most utilities have some sort of built in procedure for these kinds of things.
Chavez appearantly promised to deliver at lower prices for the really poor in some States.
My gas bill has been climbing… last month it was $150, this month $200. We’re not doing anything different, and there are no leaks in the line. We already keep the heater no higher than 65 — and we’d turn it lower if we weren’t afraid our cats would freeze.
At least we don’t have kids. Yet. But people with children have to keep the heat up higher, don’t they? If I had to keep the house at 72 all winter, I’d be bankrupt.
