    First-time buyer looking for a good deal. I'm shopping around. I see there's Top, Campus and Emo so far. Anywhere else I should be looking and is there any difference between them? Should I just get the best quote?

    AUTUMN18 will get you €10 off 500l (€409.96 -> €399.96)
    HERALD18 will get you €25 off 500l (€409.96 -> €384.96)


    I'm fairly sure that these are not Carlow specific so should work for anyone and possibly scale as your volume increases

    According to the Sindo yesterday they are doing a promotion in the Evening Herald this week so I am guessing that is where the latter code comes from. If any anyone has today's Herald is there an expiry date in it for that code?

    Just wondering - Last year I bough 1000 L for around 700 euro, the year before around 600 euro.
    I wonder how could one guess the peaks and troughs, is there a graph that shows oil prices in Ireland ?

    I have a quarter of a tank left, oil is getting hammered on the markets, I wonder when will this reflect in the Irish home heating market.

    Hammered being getting more expensive or price being hammered down?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭loki7777


    Down.

    So 'got' 550ltrs this morning.

    The docket says the start time and end time took just over 10mins. The trunk wasnt here for 10 mins. Took the day off work so I could get this delivered.
    Out of curiosity and since I had my phone on the kitchen table as the truck came up the drive, I popped on the stop watch when I saw the delivery driver bring the hose around the side of the house.

    The main pumps start chugging and you can see the pipe go taut. I had to let the dog back into the house so I went out and took a glance at the display screen at the side of the truck. It says L/Min 63 - 63ltr a minute?

    5 and a half minutes later, I see him running (not messing) back to the truck. Then goes back for 1 min and returns the hose. Job done. That includes going up the ladder to delivery, going down again and then back up to put the tank lid back on (nice of him).

    Going by 63ltr per minute - even at 6.5 mins = ~410 ltrs



    Anyone explain this? The cost was ~400 euro, I am not a tight person, but I expect to get what I pay for.

  • Registered Users Posts: 28,403 ✭✭✭✭vicwatson


    My last del of 500l took just under 6 minutes

    You just have to trust the machine that prints your docket, the machines on the truck are fairly well regulated afaik

    Just checked, it will work but regionally specific, won't work in Tipperary but will in Galway.

    Base price is 10€ cheaper in tipperary so if you use the autumn18 code the price is the same.

    I stopped getting home heating oil delivered, and now i buy my heating oil in ten x 25L drums in my local petrol station

    There is always fuel left in the trucks fuel line, always, how many liters can stay in that long fat pipe line, is Anybodys guess, i would guess any where from 20 / 30 / 50?

    When I got a delivery before in the past, I was down to my last 200 euro and skint, and the lorry driver said, hold onto that nozzle while I flush the pipe out,

    And I though, If he does that for me, how many times has he done it before!

    That was the last time I got my heating oil delivered, I now use the petrol pumps that I can know are routinely checked and regulated, when my drum says 25liters, I know there is 25liters in it

    The docket says that 552ltrs were delivered in 10 minutes.
    But he wasnt on my property 10 minutes. And as above, he wasnt anywhere near that between the the pipe been rolled out and pipe rolled back again.
    So its very hard to trust the docket..

    As I said above, the meter on the truck said 65ltr/min.

    Regulation is extremely strict with fines of €10k for any measurement offense.

    There's always fuel in the line, measurement is from just inside the nozzle. Same with petrol pumps.

    The closure of the feed is about 15 cm inside the nozzle.

    I always find it funny when I see motorists hold the fuel line up thinking they are shaking an extra litre or so out.

    As for prices, expect a 2c-3c drop this week.
