It really adds up as to how much you can save just by sealing off all leaks. I am going to try that in my apartment and see how well I do on my next energy bill. <em>Pays to live green's last blog post..</em><a href='http://www.paystolivegreen.com/2008/07/this-week-in-news-july-31st/' rel="nofollow">This Week in News: July 31st</a> Great advice.

Best of luck keeping the water-heating portion of your bill low! That does sound like a great deal for the oil. Best of luck keeping the water-heating portion of your bill low!

I used to spend close to $400 every two months on my gas bill in the old house. Our challenge, though, is going to be with water, since we just hooked up to public water and we have baseboard heating that uses water. So we're going to be heating up quite a bit of water this winter. I'm hoping the pre-paid oil will offset any water expenses. In the meantime, bring on the fuzzy sweaters and hot tea when you don't want to raise the thermostat!!!<br/><br/>Leah Ingram<br/>http://suddenlyfrugal.blogspot.com In our new house, we have oil instead of gas, and we got a great deal on oil for the year–about $400.

I'd spend more on A/C and/or ceiling fans just to kill the heat, but with heat - I can tolerate quite a bit of cold before I get cranky LOL<br/><br/>Plus I get to wear cute slippers and snuggle up to Husband, putting my cold feet on his warm back :P It’s a lot easier to put on clothes to keep warm than to take off clothes to stay cool..
