Why can't you monitor? Monitor the on-time of your oil burner and multiply by the nozzle flow rate. I did it before I ripped out my oil burner.

I can save you the trouble...for just 2 people (baby didn't exist yet) we rocked through 1/2 gallon of oil daily. At TODAY'S price in my area, that is $1.60/day. Call it $48/month.

Can't monitor electric WH, I used 1qt of oil/day with my Toyotomi. I run a Nyletherm for HW now and love the A/C is generates while using about .75/day in electricity.

The fireing rate of the nozzle is at 100psi. I have a sight tube on the oil tank with gallon graduation and marked it monthly and averaged the gallon useage/day.
