Heating oil will be the most expensive winter fuel
US consumers will pay on average 10% more to warm their homes this winter than they did last year, according to a government forecast.
Heating oil will be the dearest fuel, with higher crude oil prices raising average costs to $2.88 (£1.41) a gallon from $2.48 (£1.22) last winter.
Households using natural gas will also see a rise of almost 10% in spending.
