    I've just come into a couple of hundred quid and want to fill my tank before I spend it on pizza and beer. What are your educated opinions on costs? Will they come down or should I buy now?

    Prices are still coming down Bangor Fuels are quoting £283 for 500L and £498 for 900L I paid £503 on Thursday there was speculation of it going up. The driver stated that sales were down last week due to the weather thats why the prices started to drop.

    I wouldn't wait too long. Unemployment in the UK has shrunk in June and GDP has risen, so from now until the end of the month we could see prices rising again.

    Is now really the best time to order oil because we only order oil once a year?
