Colder winter will increase heating costs - Oct. 10, 2012
Heating costs are likely to significantly rise this winter, due
primarily to much colder weather rather than higher prices, according to
a government report released Wednesday.
The Energy Information Administration forecasts that those using
home heating oil, primarily homes in the Northeast, will get stuck with
record high heating bills this winter. Heating costs for those homes
could hit an average of $2,500 -- up 20% from last year, even though the
fuel price is expected to only rise 2%.
