Just ordered in a thousand litres and the price is cheaper than any other time we have bought in the last 4 years.

If you are running low might be worth topping up.

If you are a heavy user of oil, just hedge it over a year, the extra cost is only ever half a penny or so.

We're going through a dip at the moment as the market is stable now that America is fully self reliant, most hydrocarbons should be at their cheapest for quite some time.

Waiting for it to dip below 50p here.. the relatively warm winter seems to have had an effect, hopefully this warm period will last and drive it down further. Remember when it was 35p/l (2007?)...

I'm sure everyone is already aware of it's existence, but I've always found [url= http://www.boilerjuice.com/ ]Boiler Juice[/url] cheaper than direct quotes from suppliers by a few pence.

Christ, really??
They're more expensive by a couple of pence round here. From memory there was some issue with them price-fixing or something. The only thing they supply that I find useful is the price chart as it gives me an idea of what's happening and the absolute maximum anyone would have to pay.
Radio 4 are doing a piece tomorrow on the recent drop in domestic oil prices and why it's going to stay low - sounds interesting 🙂

There was a good five pence in it for my last delivery, but it does depend on what other people in the area are ordering (pretty much everyone near me is on oil so there's probably a good chance of getting lumped in a big order too). I think the price fixing thing happened a couple of years ago so might have been sorted out now, as long as you check other suppliers you're ok anyway.

Boilerjuice may be cheaper than your localist supplier but they are by no means the cheapest, used them once as they were cheaper than the yellow pages suppliers close to me , watched who boilerjuice used and went direct the next time , result is 2/3 pence cheaper than boilerjuice.

For those in the ne scotland look at regency oils , generally cheapest about if you can select their "sometime in the next 10day option" although some times connon bros pip them to the post.

Nope. Opposite around here too - thus far I've always beaten the best Boilerjuice price at at least two of the local fuel companies (East Sussex) I've tried. Usually try the website as a level, then a couple of calls and use the cheaper of the direct quotes...

Village syndicate pricing with our local supplier cheapest for us. I did once buy from BoilerJuice when they couldn't match the 48hr delivered price for some reason.

i swept my chimney and had my new stove fitted yesterday

like night and day. alberg 7 . its nothing fancy but it has a bigger firebox with better directed air controls over the previous aga piece of crap which only had a front bottom air vent that didnt even fully close. theres no comparison to the old stove withthe heat thats given off even only with a small cure the fire cement fire.

you will enjoy the ecofan OMITN - wouldnt be without ours now. im even temped by a second cheap model as we have much more heat to move about now and also the stove top space to accomodate it.

As good an endorsement as it gets. Cheers TR.

Our bungalow has been suffering from damp over the last couple of months. I've taken to more regular window opening, but would love to be able to "push" as much of the stove's heat through it as I can as well.

That's also how we roll, dunno how much we spend per litre, I leave all that to the OH - I'd probably cry if I knew.

Boiler Juice tends to be fairly good round here and I normally end up going through them. Can't remember the exact cost, but it was just over 50p a litre for an order of 3000 litres a few weeks ago. Definitely stocked up at that price for the winter and it will probably see me right through to the summer next year.

It was 60ppl in June, 61ppl in Feb and 61ppl this time last year.

We gave up approaching 40p when the boiler needed changed. Would have been new boiler, new oli tank and cost to bury/secure it. Changed to Air source heat pump, PV panels and woodburner (with bottled gas cos we hate electric hubs). Elec bil ~£1,600, but panels earn £1,100. £30 on gas per year. Firewood scavenged.

Although I've just bought 1500l if the price continues to drop I may take the unprecidented move of topping off the tank with another 1000l!!
Problem is prices will prob stay the same due to the 'winter effect'.

I'd just keep watching the Brent price for a while, current trend is still down and set to continue. The recent agreement with Iran and lifting of sanctions is currently driving a downward trend.

They have never been cheapest for me.
