Heating oil - buying from a pump/emergency drums

jenny-wren

We're changing from oil to gas in a few weeks and our oil is running low.

We'll most likely need to get a small amount of oil either by buying a 20 litre emergency drum or two or getting oil at a pump (we have an empty drum).

Any recommendations what's the cheapest way to do it and where to buy it (East Belfast)?

Thanks.

A Go petrol station is probably your best bet. Cheapest for normal fuel so I'm assuming cheapest for oil. They seem to have several kerosene pumps.

I'm having difficulty finding where my nearest Go station is. Is there one closer than Great Victoria Street?

The old Grand Parade filling station has been redone as a Go filling station. but I'm not sure if they are open yet, sorry!

I did a quick drive around and found two local petrol stations that sell heating oil at the pump ... with quite a difference in price. The Topaz station on Beersbridge Road sells it at 64.9p per litre and the Maxol station on Holywood Road (near the junction with Belmont Road) sells it much cheaper at 46.9p per litre.

Hope it helps someone else.
