...but it's rapidly looking that way, as the BBC News web site is
saying how high gas prices might spark a global recession.

Last time I checked, heating oil was available (1000 litres) at

Talking to my father this morning, he has just spent £500 on oil that would
last him til the middle of January. I know he doesn't shop around, but does
that sound rather a lot for a 4-bed house?

Yes.

£500/worth would last us about 4 to 5 months in a large, exposed 5 bed house.


£700 worth lasts all year and sometimes up to 18 months here (large five
bedroomed house exposed, etc.)
