Wow! I thought that paying $1100 for a year's worth of oil was bad and we heat a 2400 sq ft house, we do turn it off at night however. I haven't checked oil prices since last summer when we filled the tank. I hope I'm not in for a worse surprise. I think it was 2.69/gallon last summer.
We've been thinking about solar panels as well. Rebates in Oregon would cover a substantial portion. What I'm worried about is the property taxes going up for such an improvement. For now there is a law in place that says they won't raise them for going solar, but that expires in 2012. Property taxes in my area are extremely high and we really can't afford to have them increase any faster than they already are.
Everything is going up--oil, gas, food, electricity, property taxes....x( We are cutting back as much as possible...
