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

Well we are using about 25l of oil/day at 40p/l (when we bought at
the end of Oct, I think it's about 45p/l now) so that's £10/day.


£70 a week is A LOT.


We bought 928l 17th December, to top up the tank, and have 1/5th of a
tank left. Tank holds 1200l, so that is 960l over 16 days, or 60l per
day, at 47.8p per litre, plus VAT. £30 per day. Cold up here, on Royal
Deeside!

To be honest, I think £25 per day is more accurate, because we cannot
use the oil at the bottom of the tank. Still a lot of oil, though.
