Same! I haven't filled up on a oil yet this season. Started with 3.4 of a tank and have kept it 60 during the day and 58 when we go to bed. Just not getting to half a tank so hoping to hold out till at least February.

It just makes me angry that people have to live like this. When I was in my 30’s my husband kept the thermostat at 62°. I was cold. I can’t live like that anymore.,,I need to be warm. Family is here and I don’t think I can live far from my boys and grandchildren these days … so here I am.
