Central Heating Oil prices...

Just to add, we are retired and home all day. We've turned off the heating during the day and put on a few more layers.

I wish it was that cheap in Kent.

At least oil is back under 100ppl again now.   Hopefully the panic buying is moving out of the pricing now and it will drop a bit more

Still up to £1.45/liter here in NI. Crisis not entirely over here  

Screen grabbed Saturday 12th March 2022 (Note they now quote a £200 price point, they've never done that before)

Or £1.2915 at the 300 litre rate...

Trading Standards in England enforce a minimum 500 litre delivery by tanker.  But I see that NI suppliers are 'rationing' deliveries to 500 litres max (due to panic buying?).

Smaller volumes will always attract a premium price as the time taken and fuel to move the tanker(s) from place to place remain the same.

Sadly, although heating oil has a 70% domestic usage in NI, the industry here is totally unregulated - although there are numerous calls now for that to change. No one is panic buying £1000 deliveries of oil, far different to stocking up on toilet rolls and pasta at a few quid LOL 500 liters is by far the most common top up size of home delivery, even before the current madness.

Luckily needed a delivery before it went wild, a mate got it for 103ppl yesterday, Central Scotland.
 My usual supplier put a thing out saying they may not get it out to customers as quick any more (normally 1-2 day delivery, no premium). They will give an estimated delivery date, and call the day before with the price to check you're still willing to pay it.

If you have as few posts as Lady Harriet, or me, you don't get an edit option. I learned this somewhere on the site, otherwise I'd not know either!
