I can't answer that, as I live in the midwest, where exactly 0 homes use fuel

think there's much concern about home heating, though, as the amounts used
arent' as big as over the road diesel useage.

That's interesting. Has the same thing happened to #2 fuel oil which I always
considered essentially the same as diesel? Fortunately, I don't have to buy #2
fuel oil any more.
