discount10 gives €10 off. For me anyway there is cheaper on cheapestoil.ie

tmh106 · 17-03-2021 1:51pm

Promo code Green15 give €15 off 500 liters with Top Oil, good until 19th March.

hopskipandjump · 29-03-2021 11:24am

EASTER20 gives €20 off 500 litres until 5th April. 500 litres coming in at €350 in my area, applying promocode brings it down to €330 but when I phoned the depot to enquire about price, I was quoted €315. It pays to give a quick call.

It's €452 for 750lit with Easter20 online
€440 for 750lit ringing them.

Done the ringing around all the usual suspects in Galway, Top cheapest by 6c per litre compared to anyone else. Don't need oil, but thought I'd top up before the carbon tax increase in 4weeks.

Hopefully, the end of the Suez Canal blockage after 6 days will slow down the rise in the price of commodities like Oil etc;

oil fell about 50c and then rose.

Always read past the headlines.

Oil has been fairly steady for the past couple of weeks averaging $65 for brent crude. Down from the average $70 from the previous 2 weeks, but a near 3% drop in the value of the US dollar has meant the real change is very small.

Thanks for that - was about to order at the €330, saw your post and gave them a ring and got it at the €315 (had checked and all the others were hovering around the €330 mark for 500 litres)

FYI, carbon tax increases deferred from last October's budget get applied from 1st May.

wassie · 08-04-2021 1:32pm

The downward trend on prices since the middle of last month continues with another fall in the last few days. Just picked up 1000L @ €590 in Galway which will see me across to the other side of summer.

If theres been one positive out of the pandemic its been a great 12 months for oil heating costs.

How much will that add to say 1000 litres of heating oil?

wassie · 08-04-2021 2:49pm

https://www.moneyguideireland.com/carbon-tax-how-much-will-it-cost-you.html

The increase to €33.50 per tonne will result in the following approximate price increases in May 2021

€0.75 extra on the cost of a 40kg bag of coal;
€0.18 cents extra on a bale of peat briquettes;
€16 extra on the average annual gas bill
€17 extra on 900 litres of heating oil

Pro-rata for 1000L will cost an additional ~€18.89

Don't mind asking but which company gave you that price here in Gaillimh. Just rang around a few and they're all quoting around the €615/€620 mark.
Thanks.

No surprise there in cartel central.

Have a look properly, some prices are 3 weeks old. Anything over a week old is unreliable.

Prices on the site are entered by the companies. They'll look at what their competitors are charging and try and match.

Seems five suppliers from Wexford are listed - I'm sure there are many more.

So a pointless site then

I've never gotten a cheaper price by ringing any of the companies listed on the site here in cartel central, in fact some tried charging me more:pac:
I just hung up and picked another cartel member..

As Darc19 posted, MorOil at €589.86 / 1000L was quoting the lowest on the website.

Did the ring around and normally I would get at least one better price, however, no one would beat that price last week but 3 would match.

and a sustained jump back to $67 last week will see a double whammy of carbon tax and oil price increase feed in together about 1st May. It will add about €50-€60 on current prices for 1,000 litres

Heating oil big drop
