    Did you know that www. heatingoil.co.uk is actually Bayford Oil, of the same address: Bowcliffe Hall, Bramham LS23 6LP? If you use heatingoil you are only dealing with one company... I wonder why they don't come clean?

    I don't really mind as long as the price is right, I'd never heard of heatingoil.co.uk until reading this thread and they came good for me today at 31.72p/litre compared with boilerjuice 37.95p - a massive saving !!:j
    Thanks to Yorkshireman1 for the link ! :T

    Made a couple of calls myself here in Wales and we are taking £250 ish for 500L.
    Wholesale price of heating oil is way down and I reckon it should be south of £200 for 500L.
    Can someone explain to me why its not?

    I was wondering the same thing, Philip. Petrol prices are now back to what they were two years ago. I've just checked my receipts and two years ago we paid 28p per litre for domestic heating oil. Today it is 39.1p.

    Me thinks a letter to my MP is coming on.Petrol companies have been shamed into reducing petrol prices,but heating oil prices are not so obvious ie they are not on a big sign outside a forecourt.Perhaps anyone else who like me thinks that somebody is doing ok out of this, and its not the consumer might also start firing off some missives!:money:

    I had a delivery from Goff Petroleum yesterday - just over £180 for 500 litres. The driver said that its going up in price soon as he can always tell when his depot tanks are all full which they are now. If the tanks are empty then its going down, so if your thinking of ordering i'd do it soon.
