Is it normal to go through 1/4 tank of oil in less than 2 weeks when we keep the heat on 60?
60!!! Damn that's cold. How many people take showers a day. It has also been very cold out. Check for cold spots (windows, under doors etc) and fix any if you have them. Oil is a fortune right now. In the winter I get a delivery a month.
Yeah, unfortunately it is not that unusual. Get that shrink wrap stuff from Home Depot for windows and get the insulator inserts for any outlets that are on outside walls.

Wow! 60 is cold!!! How big is your tank, because that does not sound that normal.

I think that is a bit much. Along with checking everything that has already been mentioned, also cover any ACs that are in the house. Cold air comes in through the vents.
Look at the oil tank and the line coming into the house from the outside. You may have a leak. I had one a few years ago. The second I opened the basement door, I thought I would pass out.

Mine is the same size. Spend $30 at HD, you'll save 4x that!
That sounds like a lot to me
