outdoor reset savings

in THE MAIN WALL
I have 25 year-old oil fired Burnham V14A-1 boiler with an indirect water heater. Effeciency at 80% (per my hvac tech). I use about 400 gallons of oil per year. HVAC tech advised me to add outdoor reset control to save oil.

My question is - How many gallons of oil per year can I expect to save with an outdoor reset control added to my boiler?

    I would estimate...

    10-15%. What are your  emmiters made of? Fin tube, cast iron rads, CI baseboard?

    the larger the baseboard...

    the better chance for savings.
