Some of you may be interested in this.

I just got an oil delivery and wanted to calculate the real difference in
efficiency of my old versus new boiler. I use the mentioned web site to get
the information I needed from a nearby weather station. This is the way the
oil companies figure the automatic delivery for you.

My savings over the past 10 months has been 40%. A real savings of 248
gallons. The new boiler is paying for itself in oil cost.

You should inform what boiler it is and post a link since few know of
that brand.

So, YOU're responsible for the economic slowdown? Get with
it, man! We need your money!

Now that I'm using less oil, I'm donating money to Camels for Kids, a
charity that helps poor kids in Saudi Arabia to have their own camel to ride
to school.

Humbug! When I was a kid, we didn't have camels. Eight or
ten of us used to have to ride on an elephant to get to
school.
