Electric rates have skyrocketed in my area and I only heata few rooms in the house and only in the evening. I think a small electric portable oil-filled radiator would be cheaper to operate than heating up the large baseboard heater. I am wrong or right? Would love to save some money somehow. Thanks for your answers

They are both electric. So temperature for comfort and number of rooms handled drive cost more than which type.
However, where are your water pipes? Keep on top of them so they don't freeze. Trailers, crawl spaces and some basements will get to freezing temperatures if the main heat system isn't used. You may need to wrap your pipes with heat tapes and insulation.
