Johnston oils are offering fixed pricing for the next 12 months. Price of oil is at a 4 year low apparently. Is this a normal thing ?

Keen to know if others are doing the same south of the Border / Yorkshire if anyone hears....

[PushedDover]

Bump,

Need another tank full - 22p a litre.
Winning !

[mikal83]

I have a 1200 litre tank thats 75% full at the mo. I have the opportoooooonity to buy another 1200litre tank for 50 quid. Should I fill it up, then when existing tank is MT pump it over??

[The Rotrex Kid]

22p/pl is well cheap. Just ordered 500 litres as a top up for 30p/pl.

[MellowshipSlinky]

Can’t use mine up quick enough to benefit from the cheap prices!

Yes IIRC I bought 2000L at 17p which is a record low around here at least, ordered a top up last week at 23p but with the new Gov't guidance I'd now expect it to drop further.

I'm not so sure about that, although I hope I'm wrong. With more people staying at home during the colder months the more the heating will be on so demand for heating oil is likely to be higher.

Ah but with more now working from home or not working at all means less general oil demand and the farmers won't be needing any for crop drying

Oil on the whole has climbed back a little, but global consumption is still on the floor.

We paid 20.8ppl for 500L in May, saw it was cheap and as soon as we could fit in a minimum order, we topped up.

Our boiler died the first time we switched it on ( it went a little chilly at the end of August) and we have been using 1 electric radiator style heater to heat 1500ft2 since.
Boiler getting installed 29th-30th this month, so looking forward too being toasty again and being able to take advantage of the hopefully still cheap oil.

christ almighty, its cheap for you lot...

just paid 45.7p a litre in jersey for 500l....

[oblio]

I just bought 500litres to top up as the weather has turned and its so blooming cheap at the mo.

25ppl with the oil club (west Wales)

[anonymous-user]

28.5p from Johnston oils at the moment in Perthshire.

[oblio]

I just bought 600 litres with the oil club at £0.35 plus VAT.

A decent hike from a few months ago.

[Capt. Howdy]

Paid 35p plus vat last week from my normal independent local supplier.
Turns out they were actually cheaper than Boiler Juice and delivered quicker.
1000 lts

I find the oil club are always cheaper than BJ.

I depends on area, BJ used not to be competitive but has been the best price for me, for the last 3 yrs.

I have an independent supplier within a mile but they won't price match.

I had 1600 ish litres delivered on the 10th Dec and paid £0.34p but that included a 2p per litre premium for a smaller tanker to fit down my single track road.

Looks like prices are back on the way up which isn’t good news as we use over 220 litres a week in the winter. Still, better than the 52p per litre we were paying in 2019
