Default How much are you spending on heating per day during this cold spell?

Dave, have you a gadget to measure oil usage? We could do with one to
save the guess work!


Just the sight tube marked off in cm. A 2000l fill raises the level
about 80cm. We are using 8cm of oil/week ATM. In the summmer it's
1cm/week. Not 100% accurate but good enough.


Tell you what I'd like: a flowmeter on the pipe somewhere. Maybe where
it runs up the wall and into the boiler (mine is in the garage).
