As far as I know, refining capacity is normal right now after the hurricanes and the demand for gasoline is also decreasing, so I don't think there's any lack of refining capacity for heating oil. Oil supply is ample, too, so I think the big driver of heating prices is simply crude oil prices for the moment.
