This may be off topic but here goes............

The price of home heating oil here in New Hampshire, USA just hit $3.799 a gallon, up $1.50 since
September..... My question is, are we the only ones getting screwed here in the US or has the price
gone up as much in other countries around the globe ????? I believe we're getting it shoved up our
backsides because of George Bush's war ****ing the rest of the world off, but that's just my
opinion... Please, I'm not looking to start a long flaming thread here, just interested in what
other people in other "non Bush" countries are paying...............

Thanks

I'm wondering why nobody from some places other than the USA chimed in here...... I'd love to know
what a gallon of heating oil costs in Canada, the UK, Germany etc. Hmmmmmmmmmm............

Hi Brian,

I'm locked in at $0.889 per litre or $3.34 per gallon until the end of
May, however come June 1st, I'll be paying the "new customer" rate
which at this time is $1.099 per litre or $4.13 per gallon. This
price has been steadily rising over the past several weeks; in
Victoria, B.C. fuel oil now sells for $1.229 a litre ($4.62 per
gallon) so there's definately further upside potential.

Nymex crude hit an all-time high of $112.46 earlier this evening and
distillate inventories have been steadily falling. If Wednesday's EIA
report shows a further drop in inventory levels expect prices to move
up even more.

Nymex's heating oil future price is currently standing at $3.217 per
gallon. Historically speaking, retail prices are typically 50 to 75
cents above this amount.

Cheers,
Paul
