Should I fill up now or wait?
My oil tank is half full. Normally I’d order another 500ltrs now but they’re charging around £650 (125-135p per litre). I heard something about how prices will be even worse in April and worse again in October. At this rate I simply won’t be able to have any heat or hot water. Would it be best to fill up now or is there…
