Just been quoted 93.88 near Nottingham for 6000 litres.

Sounds like a lot.

That would have cost £1, 750 to fill up in April 2020 or over £10,000 last month.
How on earth can you run a house open to that much energy variability?

It's three properties.

It has gone bonkers though.

God, has it gone mad again? guess I’ll be seeing how low it goes

[Ouroboros]

I remember when 500 litres was 100 quid during lockdown.

6000 litres is a lot! Is that domestic?

Lady Balfour feels the cold.

A wynciette nightie from Harrods is cheaper

Many a true word.

We're up at Platt lane for this afternoon, can you lend her one of yours until I can get down to London?

Of course - You’ll both be able to get in one of mine.
Is young Balfour playing?

Indeed.

Meanwhile on Earth.

500litres, 99.7ppl. Cumbria

My usual local supplier, delivery Tuesday.

Painful, but still probably cheaper than gas.

[FunkyGibbon]

Best I found today was 92ppl up 10ppl since Wednesday

How does it vary so much regionally? I paid 83p for what I had delivered yesterday in the south east.

There's been a significant rise in price in the past week from an 80ppl quote to 95ppl quote today where I am, based on the quotes I've been checking every day.

[anonymous-user]

Supply and demand my friend. Supply and demand.

[530dTPhil]

Oil Club quoting 99.43p in South Gloucestershire tonight.

Boiler Juice at 99.10p.

[Louis Balfour]

We are having a delivery tomorrow at 99.99ppl

[Bill]

The full 6000l??? It's a gamble but I'd be buying 1000l at a time in the hope sanity prevails.

How viable would be a PH oil ordering syndicate?

The impression I get is that 5-figure orders don't attract much discount. But six figures?

We're all too far apart geographically?
