  • I ordered from that new one ValueOils.com yesterday. £155 for 500 litres!:T That was the best I could find and it arrived this mornin. Top Class.

    Plus they've got this thing on their homepage guaranteeing delivery before Christmas!


    i was running very low on oil , so checked about, and valueoils was the best price, ordered online at 11.30am and they were at my door at 1 pm what a service , i will be using them again no doubt.

    My mum ran outta oil over new years, went online and on ValueOils.com it said I cudn't get it til the 3rd. They had an emergency mobile number to one of their drivers. Gave them a call and the fella was out to us that afternoon. ON NEW YEARS DAY!!

    That is a service, and no premium rates for phonin either:rotfl:

    Interesting...... this morning Valueoils is showing as £268, Maxol at £269 and Boilerjuice @ £259 all for 900 lts. I shall however wait until tomorrow to see how Clandeboye and Bangor Fuels compare cos they are normally more competitive.

    Last week the price of Brent crude dropped by nearly $5, hopefully this should continue, and prices drop for us on the door stop.

    I am scratching around the back of my head for something I read about this quite a few years back so I could be wrong here but ... Brent crude is the wrong sort of oil for what we need (too much sulphur or something) therefore its price does not affect what we pay for heating oil ... I think the price is based upon the Opec price which has recently gone up.

    Perhaps...but normally its a guide as to what is happening....on the world stage...and no...there are various grades, its just that some are easier to refine therefore more sought after, ie dearer.
