The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 570,000 barrels of oil would be saved per day if every household in the United States lowered the thermostat setting in winter by \(6^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\left(3.3^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\). Assuming the average heating season to be 180 days and the cost of oil to be \(\$ 110 /\) barrel, determine how much money would be saved per year.
