Last years oil cost about $2700 and the projected price for this year is well over $ 4000.

I would recommend moving to Florida and forget about a heat source. Plenty warm there year around and you'll only need an electric heater about 5 times a year. Lots of places for sale now due to the high percentage of foreclosures (one of the top 10 places in the country).

Unfortunately, what you save on heating costs, you'll likely pay out in home insurance (maybe even more)

But you will have car cruises someplace every week to occupy your time.
