Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than they were last year (correct)

Heating-oil prices are expected to be higher this year than were last year ? Is it correct ?

As we can "fill-in" subject in right hand part without any modification, this should be correct ?
nope.
if you say "...than were X", then X becomes the subject of "were".
Hi Ron, but in this case, X (last year) clearly cannot be the subject of "were" (a plural). So, can you please explain.

yep -- which means that now you've got a construction that doesn't make sense AND is ungrammatical.

there's still no license to change how the construction "...than were x" works.
Ron has been teaching various standardized tests for 20 years.
