## Resource

Heating oil prices are set to skyrocket this winter, with experts predicting costs between five and six dollars per gallon—driven by global conflicts in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine tensions. While gas grabs headlines, heating fuel will soon be the real concern as temperatures drop. A veteran energy executive calls it the “craziest” market he’s ever seen, attributing the surge not to supply shortages but to unpredictable geopolitical chaos. Fuel dealers struggle to lock in stable prices, risking losses if they buy high only to see prices fall later. Many homeowners are turning to pre-buy contracts, but even early deals may now come with higher rates. The Vermont Fuel Dealers Association notes that while some customers hedge their bets, many still pay as they go—making them vulnerable to sudden spikes. Unlike propane, heating oil remains highly sensitive to global markets. Prices could plummet if tensions ease, but for now, expect your heating bills to soar.
