Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has an inside track as to where home heating oil prices - kerosene - is going? I'm thinking there is a little more to go. I recently got a quote of 0.67c per 1000 litres. In Jan of this year, I paid 0.65c per 1000. In 2007, I paid 0.60c.....

Any views?

Thanks,
S.

Thanks Jimmy, but I've still got a few more weeks of oil in the tank....!

Just wondering what others are thinking?????????

I heard an economist talking on the radio the other morning and your question came up.His opinion was not to buy now.Leave it for 6 weeks or so and you'll see big savings.

Hmmm, that's a help - thanks. found this site with a 3 month price trend chart - may be of interest http://www.cheapestoil.ie/articles/trend.aspx

I think I have another month or so in the tank (weather dependant), then its back to price comparisons.

Also, has anyone noticed any offers (€20 off etc) ??

Hi

I need to order oil but does anyone know which supplier in Galway has the best price? I got a voucher from Esso Sweeney Oil with €50 off home heating oil in my letterbox and they appear to delivery in Galway but has anyone every used them? Are they reliable?

Also does anyone know is there is a way to check the oil in your tank without having to always dip the tank. I'm always running out.

Galway is that direction ------------------------------>>

€50 off is a nice incentive.... be sure to get a competitive quote as oil is still falling on the stock markets....

any other experiences/suggestions out there?

I got vouchers from Sweeney Oil in Donegal also (buy it thru an agent, E&J I think). But it was 2 seperate €25 vouchers, for two seperate fills of oil. Minimum fill was 800l IIRC.

I'm getting quotes around the 0,62c per litre mark now....Since I paid 0,65c in January its not a bad price. Having said that, oil has fallen back to $70 a barrel now, so there may be more to go.....

Anyone get any better than that?

0,60 cent per litre quoted for a fill today....

Got a price today of 59c a litre for 1000 litres. Had to haggle, but not too much before he buckled. Hold off for a few days.

after a bit of haggling got corrib oil down from €320 to €300 for 500l.

[sthealy]

59c (above) is the best so far. I'm still getting quotes around the 60c mark. Anyone else broken the 60c "barrier" ????

[sthealy]

who did you get that price from arra?
