In Maine, the cost to fill a standard heating-oil tank as of Wednesday was $1,650
Just to contextualize this, the average house in Maine will use about 100 gallons (about 379L) of heating oil each month in winter. Older homes will use more. At the current average of $6/gal, you’re looking at paying $20 per day for heat, or $140 per week. And that’s assuming prices don’t continue to get worse as oil reserves are drained.
