Today I was ripped off by Crown oils at the pump for 91p/ liter of heating oil!

When I got back I rang them to ask them how much they charge for it
They said 86p plus vat on the pump and 82p bulk delivery

I asked them before a few week ago and was quoted 67p and asked why the hike and just a load of BS from the sales rep.

Anyone ells being ripped off by this price or can i get it for less?

    It does not take much to put the oil prices up.  You cannot expect a quote a few weeks ago to still be the price.  If you were at the pumps then you must have seen the price prior to you taking it.

    And you may have noticed that has not had much of an effect on heating oil prices to date on the mainland. The price today is in the 67-69p range.

    What do you mean by at the pump? Where are you in the UK?

    OP spent the last few days complaining about solid fuel and asking where to buy house coal, the sale of which is banned in England.
    So I can only surmise that they're in Wales, Scotland or N. Ireland.

    Not quite as cheap as 400ixl, but here's what Boilerjuice quote me right now:

    They might not be the cheapest but they're a convenient place to get a quote!
