Excluding VAT, but still a good price with the extra £10 discount don't you think?


Total cost for 500 litres including VAT
£115.24

That's a great price Iris. :money:

Whenever I have tried this company for a quote they say they don't cover my area.

Though I still think we're heading for sub-20ppl in the near future.
Because (as taxsaver rightly says above) wholesale prices have fallen (and continue to fall) much faster than is reflected in current retail prices - which (as I have said before) is not exactly unusual pricing policy at this time of year.

So especially if the weather remains mild, I really am expecting sub-20ppl soon after this holiday period.

With wholesale (financial markets data) having fallen by 27.5% since I placed my last order on 1st September (at 28.29ppl), it is more than a little disappointing that this weekend's oil-club price for my area is as high as 27.00ppl, which is only 4.4% lower! Funny how prices come down more slowly than they rise!

I'm not happy with that price, so will be directly shopping around local suppliers and delaying my top-up order if needs be.

Shopped around locally (north Cambridgeshire) and managed to get a local supplier down to 26.4ppl +vat so a total of £277.20 (inc. vat) for 1,000 litres. Still nowhere near as good as it should be, given current wholesale prices, but I want to keep my tank topped up at the moment. I shall keep watching with interest though.

Incidentally, https://www.heatingoil.co.uk for me came in at 27.86 ppl +vat, nowhere near as great a price as they gave to Iris!!

I find to get the best price online you need to buy on a weekend, preferably Sunday.


I have tried again today, but the price has gone up by 3ppl.

My oil was delivered yesterday:D


Didn't expect the delivery until next week at the earliest.


Excellent service.

As if any evidence were needed of how careful you have to be when buying oil (or anything else), my local oil supplier, which I have bought from many times, just tried to charge me more than I paid in August for 1,000 litres of oil. This despite the very considerable wholesale reductions that have taken place.

No doubt they are relying on customers who don't pay attention - or don't check online.

Most oil companies will try this nowadays. They will try & charge you whatever they think they can get away with. You just have to do a bit of research before contacting anyone now.

Still heading down towards the 20ppl mark :

This weekend's price here is 24.25 ppl + vat. :j and crude prices have fallen recently too, meaning (in theory) that heating oil prices SHOULD follow suit. :cool:
