Default Another night of burning oil..

I can't believe it! Another night of burning oil.
At midnight, it was around 7 deg F and the living room Sanyo reset.
Since the dew-point was okay, it must have hit the 10A reset limit.
I shut it down and checked the Den Sanyo power use.
It was about 1200w and still making good heat. Not great, just good.

The forecast was for 2 degs at 6AM..
I pressed the 1-Hour button, so the den Sanyo would shut down at 1AM.
Set the oil heat for 67 and went to sleep.

Today, we went back on the Sanyos after the sun got the temp back up over 10F..

A week ago, we had just under 7/8 of a tank (fuel oil).
Yesterday, we had about 3/4 a tank.. Now was are heading for 5/8 !!

Any of you guys seen any Snowy Owls around? I heard they mostly hung out, around the Arctic Circle..
