But as time is another important factor, it is typical for oil prices for oil, the increase during the winter season, despite falling crude oil prices. The Department of Energy projects the Energy Information Agency that regularly from 2008 to 2009, prices for home heating oil during the heating season from October to March for an average of $ 4. 34 per gallon.
