BoilerJuice is quoting 52.13 pence per litre for 500 litres as of

This is the lowest I've recorded since 31/Jan/2011.

Is it going to fall further?

I inherited the local domestic oil-buying syndicate, and we usually
get a discount of about 3ppl or more off the current price when we
order. We usually have a total of about 40,000 litres. 3p may not
sound much, but over a year, it's a big saving. See if you have a
syndicate near you. I agree with the comments in a different reply
about most companies being group-owned, that has happened here in
East Anglia in recent years.
And most suppliers will not deliver an order of less than 500
litres.


I thought they weren't allowed to by Trading Standards. Or is that
just oil supplier b/s?


I don't know. 500 litres is small enough for just about everyone around
here, so it isn't an issue. But it's on every website that I have
looked at.
