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 mentioned Crown oils which when searched for mentioned Bury

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.

Perhaps he meant smokeless coal

I do know that the palestine solidarity campaign are back on the streets again 

So when its the middle east its oil prices
Russia and Ucrane it gas prices right?

Why has petrol and diesel not gone up in price on the pumps?

How much do you pay for unleaded petrol then?

There's been some cold weather so the price of heating kerosene often goes up (supply vs demand).

The price of Kerosene has been steadily increasing I note via fueltool : around 70p/litre ex 5% vat today.  Pretty sure it was well under 60p/litre before Christmas (?56/57p?).

Mind that's for bulk delivery of 500 litres (min order).

You can buy kerosene at petrol stations

True, but you'll be paying the full rate of tax and VAT on that - heating oil delivered in bulk has a lower rate of tax and VAT.

It does seem very odd to be buying heating oil "at the pump" - not something one would normally do except in an emergency when you've run right out and need a small amount to tide you over until you can get a bulk delivery.

Where/ who sells it for that price

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!

I guess it may depend on where in the country you are and the time of year, but I've always found BJ to be massively more expensive than local suppliers - to the tune of 20, 30, even 40p per litre more than buying direct from local firms.

10/15 years ago BJ used to be broadly on a par, perhaps just slightly more expensive, but in the last 6 or 7 years I've given up even bothering to look at them for a ballpark figure as they're so ridiculously over-priced.

Here in rural west Wales, Boiler Juice are usually around the price most others quote, maybe a penny or two dearer but certainly not the differential you cited.
