I'm certainly not an expert on the oil industry. Our hospital, like many industrial and large commercial gas consumers has a interruptable gas supply contract. If we have to change over to #2 Oil, we use about 4000 gal on a cold winter day. That certainly makes an oil supplier happy. In the winter of 96-97 we had gas supply problems and were on oil for more than 6 weeks. The oil prices were lower then and there was no supply problem. If we run short of gas this year and have to go on oil it could be costly. You might want to check out what a lot of scientists are saying about world oil supply. Sure world oil production is at historic highs but so is demand. More people are getting cars in former communist countries and the third world. dieoff.com
