Cheaper Oil for Fuel?

54.99 for 500 litres from the Oil club (plus vat). I don't think it's going any lower for a while.

We ordered our oil on Tuesday evening and it was delivered yesterday afternoon costing 55.55p a litre. The price had went up from Tuesday morning to Tuesday evening and it has increased even more since.

For us in South Wales I find that Star Multifuels http://www.starmultifuels.co.uk really competitive on their prices (not sure what their current price is though per litre) but its their customer service that I feel makes them stand out compared to others and they offer mini oil deliveries.

The wheels seem to have come off my cunning plan to buy oil when it dipped under 50p litre, so I just ordered 1,000 litres at 58.7p/litre inc VAT.

Not too bad, still cheaper than two years ago.

I think you owe me a pint (Old Peculiar, not Kerosene!).

Have a virtual pint on me :beer:

Just priced up through the usual WebOil for 2000 litres and checked Boiler Juice out of interest... Suprisingly Boiler Juice came in a couple of quid under for a change instead of being ££s adrift.

Ah!, someone else with a big oil tank. I buy once per year some time between May and September when prices tend to be low and I'm not being pushed into a hasty purchase by freezing weather.


I'm told that that leaves me more at risk from oil theft but it hasn't happened yet - usually they target farmers around here.

56ppl today when buying 600 ltrs.

Usually wait till I need a 1000 ltrs but the weather is so mild still thought best buy now before the price rises with demand

Me too. But of course once the tank gets down below halfway (2250 ltrs) I start monitoring prices and top up if I think it's dipped to a low point.

Theft? One or more of:

* most important is to have someone at home for as much time as poss in the weeks following delivery (thieves follow delivery trucks and target recently filled tanks)
* foliage growing over/hiding the tank
* tank out of sight from the road
*Yale Bunded Oil Tank Alarm
* Watchman alarm
* CCTV
