yeah fuel costs very unpredictable.

Whats stupid is that in the governments official inflation figures (which are used for wage increases, benefit increases etc.) they weight cost of clothing higher than cost of fuel. I can probably say that nearly everyone in the lower income bracket spends alot more on gas/electric than clothes.

I think its only a matter of time before the government is forced to bring in a income based heating allowance.
