    I've seen a few folk mention www.cheapestoil.co.uk as a great comparison site. I thought I should try it.

    I'm pricing an order for my syndicate today (27,000 litres - 33 addresses). I looked in on cheapest oil. Even the headline (best) quote is well out of line. At 39.7/litre they are already 2p/litre over BoilerJuice. I consider BoilerJuice expensive and I'm expecting to pay about 34p/litre when I'm done.

    Mesage? If you are not in a syndicate join one or start one.

    whats a syndicate? am i completely out of touch!!!?? :o

    Simple idea. I organize a bunch of folk so that we all order at the same time. The supplier can bring a tanker here and empty it. Fewer miles on the tanker, less driving and more pumping.

    We negotiate a discount. This time it's almost 4p/litre below the local average for 1000Litre orders. Google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-gb%3AIE-SearchBox&num=100&q=%22group+buying+for+cheap+heating+oil%22&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

    Geez, you'd think you'd be a bit more thorough in your research when trying to sign people up to your group.

    Lincolnshire is nowhere near Northern Ireland! Not even on the same island! :rotfl:
