We usually do, usually come out ahead, last year got BURNED locking in at $4 a gallon and then it dove back donw- but we can lock in at $2.399 now current prices are 2.099 (cheapest). I think we'll do it, should be a good bet this year oil will go at least that high this winter. Worth it to know it's taken care of and no matter how tight $ gets our home is set for heat! Just wondering what others do? We can afford to as we always set some of our tax return aside for it every year.
