Home heating Oil, time to lock in? Or not?

Curious what others are thinking on the home heating oil front, as crude makes another new low.

Is it time to lock in for x amt of gallons, or for 1 year, or is it too early?  Last year I locked in at the wrong price.  

thoughts?

I have sufficient tank capacity to go through the winter.  So far I have done one buy of  the minimum purchase quantity allowed.  If the price falls I will do another such buy.  Hedging my bets.

Along with watching crude price I also watch heating oil futures.  You can find both prices, along with the NG price, here:

I only have one 275 gallon tank at the house but if prices go much lower I could see buying another tank for storage.Might not use any firewood this year.
