Domestic Oil - buy now or wait?

I will need to fill my tank reasonably soon, not urgent though, so I just got a quote from boilerjuice at £350 for 500 litres :eek: I paid £245 for the same in February. So is it worth buying now in case of further increase or will it drop again?
We struggled to pay £245, so £350 is going to cripple us. Any more than that and I dread to think :(
2008 wins £4405 2009 wins £7194 2010 wins £9615

Best wins ever: Laptop, £1000 John Lewis vouchers, PS3, Xbox 360 iPad Mini :beer:

    Hi

    I have never had any luck with boiler juice I find them the same or more expence than my local suplier (Rix Oil in Yorkhsire)

    We have switched to direct debit and pay a fixed £55 per month and just order as required. (now 2 x 1000 L per year)

    They keep an eye on the account and adjust (either way) if required.

    I have just phoned up as we are near to empty and they are charging 59.99p per litre plus VAT. I have a 1200 litre tank so that's £755 :eek: It's hard to know whether to hang on for a price drop or not. If I buy under 1000 litres its charged at a higher rate again.

    I had a quote from Boilerjuice and it was 61p per litre plus VAT.
    Just when I'm about to make ends meet, somebody moves the ends
