Default Ballpark figure needed: how many litres heating oil per day

Typical new three-bed detached house, well insulated, new oil boiler,
average temperature in most rooms maintained to around 22 degrees C
from 8 am to 10 pm.

How much oil will the boiler consume very approximately in winter in
the UK? 5 litres per day? 10 litres? Much more? Much less?


Average annual usage is reckoned to be about 2000 litres, most of that in
winter of course, so 10 litres per day wouldn't be far off the mark. 22c is
pretty warm though. You could save a lot by turning that down a bit.
