| October 7, 2008 Energy Dept predicts higher heating costs
|
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Energy Department says the cost of heating your home this winter will be a lot more expensive, especially for the tens of millions of households that use fuel oil or natural gas.
Households that use oil can expect to spend an average of $2,388 - or $449 more than last year - for the October-April heating season. Users of natural gas will probably spend on average just over $1,000 - or $155 more than last year.
The winter outlook released Tuesday by the department's statistical agency predicts the price of heating oil - widely used in the Northeast - will average 60 cents per gallon more than last winter. The cost of electricity and propane is expected to be 10 percent to 11 percent higher.
