average heating cost maryland
The average household used about 600 gallons of heating oil last winter. At that time, the average price of heating oil was $3.88 per gallon, which amounts to $2,354 per year, he said. If the price stays at $3.15, the average household could save about $464. Heating oil is used much more sparingly in Maryland than New England, which accounts for roughly 75 percent of the country's usage, Felmy said. Most households in the state use natural gas because it's much cheaper, he said.
