Maybe for a one or two bedroom. Pretty sure standard size is higher. I'm almost positive mine was 340 in a 3br/2ba. My buddy next door had 2x 340gl tanks. I don't know anyone with one as small as 275. Would only be about 250 useful in that tank.

Sounds like your landlord got into a contract when the prices were crazy high.

I lived in CT for years and had an oil tank and never once signed any contracts. It's a scam. You can get oil delivered as needed for cheaper.

I just checked and oil price is about $3.15/gl right now. You shouldn't be paying $800/m.

A normal oil tank is about 325 gl. So even if it was completely dry (it wasn't) it would be about $1k to fill it. Sounds like his contract price is closer to $4 or more.

Then factor in it may be an old inefficient furnace. When I bought my home, the furnace was a coal furnace converted to oil, about $0.50 on every dollar was going up in flames. We spent almost $4k on oil our first winter. Insane. Changed the burner out to something more efficient and cut that bill down.

It was still high though. CT sucks for energy prices. And since you're renting, you're stuck with whatever your landlord has and he doesn't care what you pay in oil.

You can try the plastic film on your windows to cut the drafts. They work well. And layer up. Hahaaa

Good luck! Almost done with winter!

Out of the entire USA you could visit, Connecticut is your choice??!!

You're going to be severely underwhelmed.

Seriously. There's so many better places to visit if you just have to pick one.
