Really? I'm almost eliminating oil-heated houses out of hand, and I don't feel like I've had to eliminate that many. My big feeling of disadvantage: you have this extra weird set of incentives involving when to call for a refill, whether to call for another that year, whether to wait. Whereas gas heat is one axis of heat vs. money without so many confounding factors. I don't want to have to decide whether or not to put on an extra sweater based on my guess of how many cold days are left versus how much oil is left in the tank.
Also, in my house search having a gas stove is important. And gas heat means a gas stove is likely, or at least easily possible.
