Adding hundreds or even thousands of dollars to their winter heating bills will push many of them further into debt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite stubbornly high inflation, consumer spending has remained strong \u2013 but Americans have increasingly fallen into debt to keep up, according to data from the New York Fed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Credit card balances hit a record $1.29 trillion in the third quarter and total household debt \u2013 including mortgages, auto loans and student loans \u2013 reached a record $19.1 trillion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>A plume of smoke rises after a strike on Tehran on March 3. <span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Americans are already struggling to pay their utility bills. About one in six households are behind on their payments \u2013 owing about $23 billion, NEADA said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More than a quarter of US families said they have reduced the heating and cooling in their homes to uncomfortably low levels to save money, and 19% said they cut back on groceries or switched to less expensive food options, according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/article.images.consumerreports.org\/image\/upload\/v1786475744\/Consumer_Reports_Energy_Fairness_April_May_2026_pydlrg.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-nyp-affiliate=\"true\">a Consumer Reports survey<\/a> from August.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices have fallen recently as President Trump signaled he\u2019s not planning to strike Iran anytime soon and is instead continuing negotiations. Gasoline prices on Tuesday fell below $4 a gallon for the first time since mid-July, according to AAA.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>National average residential heating oil prices fell to $6.14 a gallon, down from $6.23 a gallon, in the week ending Nov. 2, according to the US Energy Information Administration \u2013 but are still roughly 69% higher than the same time last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adamski also noted that experts are forecasting a milder start to the winter season due to a strong El Ni\u00f1o pushing the jet stream further south and east, which could mitigate heating oil usage and keep average costs lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the recent decline in heating oil prices is welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, families should not assume that prices will continue to fall,\u201d Wolfe said. \u201cThe situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains highly volatile, and continued uncertainty about global oil supplies makes it difficult to predict where prices will go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor planning purposes, we believe it is prudent to assume that heating oil prices will remain elevated throughout the winter heating season. We hope we\u2019re wrong, but states need to prepare for the possibility that prices will stay high.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
