Good grief! Assuming that was 500l like you are just looking for, is this for
a holiday home? 500l in winter would last us a month if we are lucky.

No, the order in 2010 was for a staggering 1,000 litres! Lasts me for
ages. I only use minimal heating. Don't like a hot house. I never heat
any rooms I don't use regularly. If I only had water to heat, 1,000
litres would last me five years.


07 Jun 2010 2000l 43.52
14 Dec 2010 1000l 54.50
20 Jan 2011 1000l 56.00
05 Mar 2011 2000l 56.52
01 Dec 2011 2000l 57.95
01 May 2012 2000l 58.67

That's 10,000l...

That's only a few hundred short of what I paid last September for my
new Suzuki Alto!

Oh, indeed, I see the fuel deliveries up and down our street. Some
people just like having the temperature turned up and can apparently
afford to waste money. When I visit certain relatives they have the
heating full on so that one can hardly breathe, then they open windows
'because it's so stuffy in here'.
