Oil Furnace?

After a few different deals on houses fell apart, I think I may have come across the right one... only problem is the furnace. Natural gas stops about a 1/4 - 1/2 mile down the road so that's most likely not an option, and I haven't the slightest clue about oil burning furnaces. The unit does seem to be fairly new, but the horror stories I've read of filling a house with soot and diesel smells have me leary.

Does anyone have any experience with these furnaces? Assuming natural gas isnt available, would converting it to propane be my best option or just a new efficient oil furnace? I know propane/gas furnaces are more efficient, but oil gives off the highest BTUs and the price of oil is fairly cheap right now.

Any and all advice is welcome.
