'Average' domestic energy heating and HW use is around 20,000 kWh / year. Kerosene contains around 33MJ/litre, which would give an average useage of 2182 litres. Current price appears to be around 60p inc VAT, giving an annual average cost of £1300 - prices appear much more volatile than mains gas prices, so best to avoid panic buys in mid winter....
This would seem to be in line with experiences noted on here. I shall avoid buying a house with oil fired heating!
