NY heating oil prices skyrocket 39% year-over-year amid US-Iran conflict

Home heating oil prices in New York spiked in early March 2026 — far exceeding levels during the same time last year — as costs for fuels overall leaped globally in the first weeks of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

With nearly one-in-five homes statewide using heating oil, rising costs for the fuel are key to politically charged fights over measures aimed at shifting more buildings and homes to electric heat, as well as efforts to expand clean energy initiatives.

Meanwhile the nutters in state government are pushing electric heat.......have they looked at the sky rocketing rates just for delivery. No one seems to have plan they now decided to build a new nuke...shouldn't they have done that before they closed the Indian Point in Harrison NY. .I'm now paying $1200 more a year for gas and electric and I have solar.
