Well done for shopping around and telling us
Connell Oil are quoting 500l €232.5 kerosene & €240 Gasoil on their site?

Really? Why didn't they quote me that on the phone then? Sometimes I think these people don't want to do any business.

claireeney · 06-03-2009 1:21pm

dont know if anyone mentioned this...

http://www.cheapestoil.ie/

I looked this up two weeks ago and it said texoil in oranmore was the cheapest.

got 1000L for 460euro

checked it a week ago and was same

leex · 06-03-2009 2:19pm

Corrib Oil quoted me 440euro for 1000L this week.

Not much competition there then. Went with Excelsior as they are only the road from me and yer man was nice on the phone!

Funnily enough, Excelsior Oil became part of Mor Oil a couple of weeks ago...

I dealt with them for years, and they were always friendly and efficient. Sorry to see them go.

big b · 06-03-2009 5:20pm

I'm a bit out of town and use Mor Oil from Carraroe.

Guy has been absolutely sound with us, including bleeding the boiler when the poxy *&%^^$£%^^^ tigerloop didn't work & I wasn't home when he came to fill the tank.

Ref asking if you're a regular - our man has told us more than once to hang off a week if we could, as the price would be coming down. Can't ask fairer than that!

Our last fill was 50c/ltr about 3 weeks or so ago.

Corrib quoted me 700L for €300 today, so slight drop in price on earlier in the week then.

gaillimhabu · 30-03-2009 3:47pm

Just wondering has anyone ordered recently?

Is 500 litres the minimum you can order? I wonder will oil prices go up soon with the budget coming in soon i.e. is it best to stock up now and get a 1000 litres

Das Kitty · 30-03-2009 3:52pm

Nah, you can order even 100L in most places, but it will be more expensive per litre the fewer litres you order.

JohnCleary · 30-03-2009 4:50pm

Would be interested if anyone has ordered recently. Need to get me 1000l of the green stuff... usually places that are cheapest for home heating oil will also be cheapest for diesel too

Well road diesel is super cheap at the station in Inverin at the moment; so they might be worth a call???

Honestly have no idea, sorry. But it's the only garage in Inverin methinks, and their diesel was 89.9 Sunday week.

Only place that tops that at the mo is on the Port road in Letterkenny...87.9.

Apologies I can't be of more help!!

O'Grady Oil - €270@500 litres, €480@1000 litres
Got that quote online. Must ring up a few this week and do a bit of haggling

Fey! · 31-03-2009 3:57pm

Recently I said on here that Excelsior were now part of Mor Oil, but I had it mixed up. They're part of Connell Texoil, and I paid them E240 for 500 litres this week.

Tigh Neil's is the cheapest in Inverin, John.

But Siopa an Fubail (supervalue) have some deal that if you spend x amount on groceries they'll discount your fuel. With that discount, they'd be cheaper than Neil's. Neil's is an agent for Sweeney Oil, the other one doesn't do home heating oil.

gaillimhabu · 31-03-2009 6:13pm

Here are the one's I've tried with some haggling. Phew!!!!

1000 Litres
Tescoil or Connolly Oil or Excelsior 091 795188 €440
Corrib Oil 091 751311 €450 but matched €440 when I told them about Tescoil
Jones Oil 091 562782 €450
Mór Oil 091 562011 €450
Mc Mahon Oil 091 561677 €450
Cloonans 091 844088 €450
Galway Oil 091 568605 €465
Sweeney Oil or East Galway Oil or Hi-Way Oil or O'Grady Oil 091 566406 €480

500 Litres
Jones Oil 091 562782 €240
Cloonans 091 844088 €240
Tescoil or Connolly Oil or Excelsior 091 795188 €440
Corrib Oil 091 751311 €250
Mc Mahon Oil 091 561677 €250
Galway Oil 091 568605 €250
Mór Oil 091 562011 €270
Sweeney Oil or East Galway Oil or Hi-Way Oil or O'Grady Oil 091 566406 €270

Cheapest Oil seems to be fairly on the ball.

I went with Tescoil for a 1000 litres in the end. Delivering today and they said they would bleed the boiler for me as oil had run out.

JohnCleary · 31-03-2009 7:59pm

My last fill was from Texoil and got 1200 for 44.5p per litre so not far off the mark.

Oil has not changed much in the last 3 months so whats going on with petrol prices in the city ... 5 cents dearer than alot of county pumps :mad:

+1.

And don't get me started on the difference between here and the rest of the country!!! I'm sure it must be more expensive somewhere in the country; but everywhere I've been it has been cheaper, and significantly so!!!

Diesel is particularly ridiculous since the budget, seems like most of the stations in town have added on the 5c a litre and a little for themselves:rolleyes:

Wonder where the cheapest in Galway city/county is at the moment??

IrishWhiskeyCha · 22-04-2009 9:52am

Petrol probably should have it's own thread. I never buy petrol in the City any more just out of principle ... and more people should do the same to teach these cowboys a lesson :mad:

There is something very wrong when Spidal is 105.9c and the City averages 108.9c - 109.9c

Spidal has been consisently cheaper than City prices since January

Gort for me has always been cheaper (The crappy one out of town to Ennis) currently 104.9c

Oil prices have been steadily on the rise for the last 3 months and are expected to rise further as the recession improves elsewhere. I think oil has taken a small slump today to $71. That's still more than double what it cost in March though so I think we can definitely expect a bit of a price hike

It mightn't translate immediately to a 50% increase in home heating costs. We just have to hope the home heating oil companies bought large stockpile when it was cheap and that the dollar doesn't strengthen much against the Euro.:)
I'm sure we can expect some increase though.

Just an update on this story.

Tedcastle – which operates TOP filling stations – has agreed to purchase the troubled Fate Park Limited, one of the country’s largest oil distribution companies.
Under the deal, Galway businessman John Sweeney – who owns Fate Park – will lose the fuel business he has built up for more than 20 years, and was the springboard for his expansion into the hotel and property business in the 1990s. Fate Park trades as Sweeney Oil/Rabbitt Oil, O’Grady Oil, Hi-Way Oil, Finn Valley Oil, Moneen Spar Express, Hughes & O’Boyle Fuel Oil, Castlebar Oil Company, Flanagans Oil and Major Fuel Distributors.

I got 500 litres for €260 about three weeks ago from Texoil, €10 cheaper than was quoted by corrib. ring them and ask for a quote.

moonandstars · 04-10-2009 6:38pm

562704...MOR Oil. I have got them the last few timeas and they still come out the cheapest. i always ring around around 4 or five. But when u rnging..always ask how many litres can u get for....whatever u prepared to spend. say..400eur or something. and its always cheaper to get a good bit..getting 200litres is goin to cost more int he long run as they charge u the top price per litre when u get so little. somewhere at around 5 or 600 litres the price is not goin to go down really after that. best of luck....

claw14 · 17-10-2009 10:52am

Got 500 ltrs from texoil for 250 last week. Cheapest was 260 but rang texoil and told them I had got a quote for 250 and they said they would match it. Deluivered 2 hours later.

Corrib Oil are doing it for 50c a litre for kerosene and possibly cheaper the more you order. Supposed to be going up this weekend.

I often wonder if they are giving you the amount of oil you order despite the receipt they produce. Heard a lot of scary stories about some suppliers.

I used Sutton Oil this week to get 450l of oil at €235 which was the cheapest quote I got by 15 euro.

When the guy came to my door to be paid after filling the tank he told me that the tank only took 425l and knocked €20 off the price accordingly. We have an oil guage in the house so I was able to check that he was correct about the amount he had put into my tank. I was very impressed that he brought it to our attention rather than the other way around though.

So thats a vote for Sutton Oil from me.

Fey! · 29-10-2009 2:19pm

I paid Texoil €270 for 500 litres this week - works out at €0.54 per litre.

I hadn't shopped around; I contacted my usual supplier (Excelsior), who are now part of Texoil.

I should note that I got same day delivery, despite only ordering around lunchtime.

padraig71 · 30-10-2009 11:11am

I phoned round a few places on Wednesday. Texoil wouldn't even give me a quote unless I gave them my details. I said I would only do so if ended up calling back to place an order and that I was only phoning round for prices at present.

'It's company policy,' they said.

'Well, it's not my policy,' I replied, 'and I'll take my custom elsewhere.'

I have read before now that some companies fix prices among themselves and if you give a name when obtaining prices they will contact the companies with which they are affiliated or in cahoots so that they don't offer you a lower price. Anyway, no other company I contacted except Texoil insisting on having my details before they would give me a quote - and why on earth would they need to? In the end, I went with Sutton Oil, 500 litres for €275 (though they said the price was going up that night).
