I haven't heard much noise about this. But this is going to be a very serious problem for lots of folks in the NE come next winter. I think there are going to be a lot of people who aren't going to know what hit them until it's time for the first fill up in October or November.

I'm thinking about getting a wood burning fireplace insert for my living room, in addition to the wood burning stove I already have in my family room. If I can keep up with managing the wood, I would only need to burn oil for hot water.

I LOVE my PRIUS.
I HATE that it still gets all of its energy from GASOLINE.
GET THE DENOMINATOR TO ZERO.
