• The price of heating oil, a fuel most commonly used in New England to heat homes, has gone up by 65% since October 2021, according to the Energy Information Administration.
• The average price for the oil was $5.46 per gallon in October 2022 compared to $3.30 in October 2021, due to refining constraints and low stockpiles of the fuel.
• “We are very concerned about the rapid rise in the cost of home heating with heating oil this winter,” National Energy Assistance Directors Association Executive Director Mark Wolfe told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “EIA’s numbers could turn out to be conservative and the price could go even higher if shortages aren’t addressed quickly.”
