    we ran out of oil last night with only a week until we move house, there was a tear in my eye shelling out £14 for an emergency drum :(

    Some people (like me) can't afford to pay the guts of £300 in one go. I prefer to break it into more manageable chunks. even if i do lose out on £20. i'm too busy saving money on other things to save for heating oil!

    You don't have to pay in one go. I have an account with shell direct and pay £30 per month DD. When I need oil I simply phone around for the cheapest quote, then inform Shell direct what the best price is. They always match it so I always get the best price and I only pay the £30 each month.

    I'm quite sure other firms would offer a similar service.

    i would rather have the £30 earning interest in MY account (if i had it)

    we would all like a bit of that interest rate where you get more than £20 for £30pm. Where do you bank?
    Plenty of mistakes, but no regrets. :)

    Well we ran out and with the stinking weather I cannot get any washing dry so am having to order some oil boo hoo!
    Anyway, prices this morning are as follows.

    Bangor Fuels
    500 - 140
    900 - 243

    Richie
    500 - 143.64
    900 - 249

    Maxol
    500 - 139
    900 - 238

    Clandeboye
    500 - 139
    900 - 242

    So there you go. At least they are going down a bit.
    HTH.

    I usually find home Fuels to be the cheapest but I also like getting good service for loyalty so what I do is phone around about 10 suppliers find the cheapest price and then phone Maxol Direct they always ask if I've got oil from them before - which I always do then they beat the lowest price I've got - and they always delivery that day or at the latest the next day.
    DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY ;)

  • I got 900 litres from www.cheaperoil.com last week. Cost me £285 :eek:
    They were the cheapest I could find at the time.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    I got 500 litres about 3 weeks ago for £159.
    I could have filled a 1000 litre tank for just a teeny bit more than that about 18 months ago.

    Can you repost that link? It took me to a domain name registry site.

    its .com not .co.uk
    Anyway it looks as if 1000 litres is over the £300 mark - nightmare
