Heating oil price this morning = 52.13 pence, will it fall further?
BoilerJuice is quoting 52.13 pence per litre for 500 litres as of
10:21 am on 22/Jun/12. This is the lowest I've recorded since 31/Jan/2011. Is it going to fall further? MM |

Guess who *had* to buy at 58.67 + VAT at the end of April. B-( Local suppler 2000l, Boiler Juice quoted 61.95 + VAT at that time. -- Cheers Dave. |

In the middle of April, I thought I'd better order some - and paid a massive 76.5975p per litre (£1531.95 for a 2000 litre fill). I've always considered having a partial fill, and shift the proper annual fill to the autumn. The problem is that, despite the present price drop, history shows that the overall trend is for prices to keep on rising. By delaying getting a complete fill, I risk paying more per litre when I DO fill up. And, of course, it won't affect just my first fill - it will be all the fills thereafter. I'm not sure what the answer is. -- Ian |

MM 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. -- Davey. |

Thing is, my boiler uses very little oil in the summer months, and is only used now for hot water provision. I switch it on manually every morning for between 15 and 25 minutes and that gives me plenty of hot water for the day. As such, I reckon I still have weeks left in the tank. But it'll be just my luck to postpone the top-up, and then get nearer the bottom and then the price will suddenly shoot up. I don't know why the price has fallen so much recently. Like I said initially, it's the cheapest since January 2011. I also refer to http://www.fastenergy.de/heizoelpreis-tendenz.htm which today points to a falling or even trend. MM |

Just keep an eye on the price of crude, say from the commodities page on the BBC web site. And the various sites that will give a online quote price or the graphs. When the price of crude starts to rise again keep a very close eye on the retail prices and when they start to rise, there is normally a week or so's lag, buy. You might not get the very bottom price but unless the price sky rockets you shouldn't do to badly. I don't know why the price has fallen so much recently. Over a 25% reduction in the price of crude since end of March early April. it was $125/barrrel it's now $90/barrel. Other oil products where also stupidly expensive at the begining of April, I paid 147p/l for supermarket diesel on the 13th April, today I paid 135p/l. With crude currently at $90/barrel I expect to see a bit more of a fall in pump prices but there is a 3.02p/l rise in duty due on 1 August... -- Cheers Dave. |

At the rate it's going down, it should be below 50p by then. I haven't bought any oil since August 2010 when I paid 38.5 pence a litre to Goff Petroleum. MM |

Who quotes oil prices by the total cost? It always p/l It also only has 500 and 900l as options. A few companies offer a discount for 1000l or above, most do for 2000l and above.

Like TNP a big house and the half we normally live in, until late last year, had no effective wall insulation and was drafty (parts still are). Also being exposed and at 1400' doesn't help.

Heating oil price this morning = 52.13 pence, will it fall further?
Those trends have to be artificially generated by supply manipulation I'd
suggest. Brian -- From the Bed of Brian Gaff. The email is valid as Blind user. "MM" wrote in message ...

B-) Ring around a few local *independent* suppliers, closer the better and you can probably knock 1 or 2p of the Boiler Juice "cartel" price. Be aware that real independent suppliers are getting a bit thin on the ground in some parts of the country, many companies are now owned by GB Oils, this includes Boiler Juice and many other, apparently separate, online places. NB BoilerJuice was sold by GB oils in Jan 2011 (apparently) Who owns it now? 28/6/12 Boilerjuice quotes 51.78+vat for 500, 1000 or 2000 litres on standard or "express" 5 day delivery. most locals are hovering around above this -cheapest quote I got today (without haggling) was 50p +vat Jim K |

Paid 58.67 for 2000l on 30 Apr, £170+ difference. B-( I see crude has started edging back up in the last few days. People want heating oil keep checking the price... Correction having looked at todays prices futures up $6+/barrel really keep on eye on the heating oil prices. -- Cheers Dave. |

Jim K As the local syndicate man, I will be negotiating for our group purchase on Monday. Currently have 53,000 litres to offer, and one more day to get more. It should be interesting. I can't change the day to try to improve the price, as some people are running on empty right now. If I remember, I'll post the final syndicate price here next week. If anyone cares, of course. -- Davey. |
