Heating oil: how many gallons a winter?

I'm considering moving to an apartment with oil heating. Really not crazy about that, but on balance it might all work out. I've been reading through the heating oil posts, and got a lot of good information from them (thanks, denizens! MassEnergy is definitely on my radar), but am still not sure how much I'd end up paying per winter.
For those with oil heating, how many gallons do you end up using per winter, for how many square feet, and at what average temperature? Or just for this winter, with its crazy temperatures.
ETA: This is, of course, a more complex issue than just square footage and internal temperature! I've done some research, and am doing more. Right now, I'm more interested in local numbers than anything else. :) If you have more variables to share with me in the context of your numbers, I'll be even more grateful!
