Another factor is: fixed firing rate verses stepped firing or even more efficient full modulating. Your facts and figures are bias and slanted toward the way you want them to be and do not represent and accurate picture.

Your facts are incorrect and I take strong offense to your assertion that my facts and figures are "biased and slanted towards the way I want them and do not represent an() accurate picture". As a matter of fact, YOUR facts are wrong. The cost of #2 oil, as shown in today's Laconia Daily Sun, page one, bottom left corner from Fullers is $3.299....not $3.489 as YOU asserted. Looks like you are getting taken if you are paying $3.489. Second, I used $3.25 in my analysis, which seems to be much more accurate than your $3.489....who is being more biased? I was really trying to be helpful to people in my analysis and specifically stated that if there was more accurate data available, then use it. But do not accuse me of being BIASED and SLANTING an analysis. YOU are WRONG in your posted offensive assertion and I am owed an apology.
If the current BTU's for #2 oil are 125,000, then I accept the correction and thank you for your input. I did research the BTU's on line and did not find that number previously. I..and others, would be interested in seeing your comparative calculations posted if you have better data that represents typical heating equipment generally used by consumers.
In closing, your posted accusations to me personally are not appreciated. Let's ALL try to live to a higher standard of common courtesy and respect to forum members.
