Bureaucracy behind the installs aside, i'm curious about whether people
think fuel is increasing in price due to the increase of us using less of
it.


This would require intellect on the part of jag+=2 which I have a hard
time imagining.

Lol.

So no-one sees any corellation in household fuel rising in-line with the
growth of condensing boilers?

One of the chief difficulties in statistics is separating out two effects
which (as it happens) seem to be linked. As time goes on it may become
clear there was no such link. A certain amount of common sense is needed
here.
1) If the demand for a commodity falls (due to installing condensing
boilers) then it's price is likely to fall.
2) Energy prices are subject to global market forces.
3) As "Dubya" would say there is a trouble in "Iraqistan".
