    Location?  It matters with the pricing.

    (Assuming that's the total inc 5% vat Kerosene is 58.19p/l ex vat vs 46.63 p/l and is an enormous variation!).

    EDIT As it happens, I was 'courtesy called' by Oil NRG (formerly Conquest Oil) and they were "around the 50p a litre mark" in my (Bedfordshire) area, 21st December 2021.

    Just for reference

    Quote of £1037.41 for 1000L 

    97.85p per litre + VAT

    South Lincolnshire 

    Still got 450L in the tank so hanging on for a bit longer but will need 1000L to get through autumn/winter. 
  • Quote of £464.57 for 500L 

    88.49p per litre + VAT

    Scottish Borders from Johnston Oils through their Oil Club

    A bit of a jump since my January order at 56.70p per litre  :'(  but better than all the prices quoted since.

    Assuming inc 5% vat that's £0.8457 or 84.57 p /litre, from their East Anglia depot in Thetford.

    I ordered 900 litres yesterday at 82.87 p /litre plus vat, also from Your NRG (ex Oil NRG ex Conquest Oil who are in my village and South Midlands depot) for delivery in Week 2 November.   Not quite double what I paid in August '21 when I last filled up.  Price varied with 'urgency' of delivery.  Bedford Fuels were 83.50 p/litre for same delivery date.

    Mine works out at 9.01 p/kWh (ignoring boiler efficiency losses) once it arrives.
  • Nice to be getting the £200 freebie. Just as prices come down.

    72 ppl is lower than it's been for a loooong time.
