I see this is the same as gas. When propane shot up, people lowered their thermostats to below 70 to tried and conserve. I'm sure there is some gouging going on, but nobody was prepared for a winter like this. Maybe this summer there will be run on insulation as well. I would had to have my tank topped off at least once if not twice, but I've turned the thermostat down to 64 and use supplement my heat to make up the difference. I've got a kerosene heater that will keep most of the house at 72 or above, and a space heater for the bathroom. And I do plan on adding insulation to the attic and sealing things up better this summer.
