Everyone with oil also has a time problem if the current prices are an issue. With gas, you get the hammer next year with the bill, after the winter. Unless an advance payment is increased now. But with oil, the tanks must be filled before winter so that you can heat. So you need the money now or during the course of the winter. Depending on the fill level and size of the tanks, you can bridge more or less or refuel later at night or similar. But you cannot operate the heating if the money has not been provided (in advance). Friends of ours live in a poorly insulated old building and have an annual consumption of about 3000 liters. Even if they refueled early, that currently simply amounts to well over €4000. They need it before March or so.
For everyone, the situation is bad...
