At 500 gallons per week thats an increase of $3000 per month. I cannot sustain this til spring. Obama's econonomy has already cost me dearly, 49.4% less than the end of 2008.

We also plan to put in a hybrid heatpump-gas system this summer because we no longer feel propane will be reliably available in the future.
