i thought heating oil had gone the way of the dodo, but maybe that's only in cities piped for gas?
when my parents bought the house i grew up in in 1975, it still had an oil furnace, but my dad switched us over to a gas furnace shortly thereafter.
i still remember the giant oil drums in the basement that he didn't get around to removing until i was older.
EDIT:
looking into, it looks like it's a regional thing particular to the northeast. the rest of the nation has very few homes still using heating oil.
