With oil being what it is, I'm heating with wood right now. However my hot water also comes from the boiler, it's an on-demand system that kicks on when I use it.
Early september I ran out of oil. So I ran down to the station to buy 10 gallons of diesel and dump it in the tank. Fire it up and boom, hot water. This lasted just under 2 weeks, and it was ready for another 10 gallons. So I decided to shut the furnace off and only turn it on for showers. Over a month later, and I'm still on the second 10 gallons. I'll do this until prices come down if I need to. I'm just not going to buy 500 gallons at $6/gal. This can't last, to many people depend on oil for their homes, so if I can hold out, prices will come down eventually.
