Beware Boiler Juice
"You pay £286.25" says the email in bold orange type, echoing the heating oil price quoted on Boiler Juice's website quotation a few minutes before. But wait a minute. The website quotes a price of 52.24 per litre. Now my maths can be shaky at times but 500 x 52.24 doesn't make £286. Is it the extra a VAT charge? No. It's…

This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... While on holiday abroad with three friends, we hired a car.
