4、For many families, spending on heating means sacrificing other basic things, according to Robert Coard, president of Action for Boston Community Development Inc(ABCD), a national organization which offers fuel（燃料）assistance to low-income families.
“They say they are having a problem of either heating or eating,” he said.
Ellen Campbell, a 29-year-old single mother of a five-year old daughter who is one of ABCD’s clients（客户）, said after spending $350 for rent, her $531 monthly assistance check hardly covers all her expenses even when she’s not paying for heating oil.
“I just don’t know how I’m going to do it . I’m definitely worried. It’s going to be over $3 a gallon（加仑）. It’s crazy, ” said Campbell, who lives in Boston.
The bad news for people like Campbell is that some specialists don't think heating oil prices have hit their top yet. “I think the crude oil（原油）price will probably hit $100 in the coming weeks and that will flow through to the heating oil price,” said Rick Mueller, a crude oil analyst at Energy Security Analysis Inc in Boston.
A series of factors, including a worldwide increasing need for oil, have brought up oil prices. Although specialists think prices will fall sooner or later, forecasts put it too far off to be of comfort during the freezing winter months.
