I got 500ltrs for €269 with Topoil with €20 discount with code GAA2 in Wexford,could be cheaper now, saying that i ordered Monday still waiting for it.

In Cork the price from Top went up between Monday and Wednesday.

On Monday with the €20 discount I was quoted €260, on Wednesday it was up to €269.99 and is still at that price.

MacGyver007 · 29-03-2020 1:01pm

Prices for 500 litres are still stuck in the €280-€300 bracket in Galway. Texoil are selling 1000 litres for €530

How long are people having to wait for delivery?

Still 560 in Kerry

Darc19 · 29-03-2020 5:42pm

I talked to someone in the industry that I knew from years back asking why prices haven't dropped.

Demand dropped dramatically and without any notice so the fuel bought at higher prices has to wash through the system, but that is mostly done and decent price drops should be seen filtering through now.

Kerosene is also used as jet fuel, so whilst homeowners have been buying more, that pales in comparison to the amount used by aircraft.

She said fuel demand had dropped over 60% and further drop is expected now.

I would be in no rush. Prices only going in one direction.

The nice thing about oil prices coming down is it really only affects the middle east and Russia, so no guilt in waiting for lower prices

kenyard · 30-03-2020 10:28am

crude oil is down to 20 a barrel at the moment. 17 year low.
just looking at the government taxes per litre. i see petrol is @55c/l (I assume diesel is also the same).
is the home heating oil taxed at 14.5c/l or is it 0?

heating oil should surely drop to 45c/l or even 40 at this rate. and all of europe is going and now the USA is going to be shut for at least another 2 weeks i would expect. plus south america is starting to get increasing growth to infection rates also...

Geopolitics in play as the US shale industry is crippled with a break even of $45/barrel.

savemejebus · 30-03-2020 4:05pm

Top oil in Galway are doing 1000l for €490 over the phone. Driver said to me they were selling for €500 from the trucks.

billbond4 · 30-03-2020 7:29pm

Ordered on Sunday, delivered this afternoon 1000l in Athlone from local fuels

Remember you need to turn raw oil into kerosene. It also has to be transported and then you also have operating costs. All that is about 20c a litre. Carbon tax and 13.5% vat brings it to about 28c

Brent oil is currently 15c a litre (17c Inc vat)

So that's 45c/litre.

So you should see €450/1000 litres or lower.

Loads of places at €500 now, so don't pay more than that

Arthur Daley · 30-03-2020 9:05pm

If you buy in April heading into the summer are there any issues with that sitting in the tank until winter or even into early next year depending on use?

Tzardine · 30-03-2020 9:05pm

At just under €500 today thats a nice drop from the OP of €640 at the start of the month, and still a bit to go it seems.

bigboss1986 · 30-03-2020 9:07pm

Since I opened this thread oil dropped 140euro to 500euro for 1000 litres today with texoil (Galway).New tax is going to kick in on 1st may so Im going to wait until max 20th and then fill my tank.
TopOil Galway still at 585(without discount code)so they have to drop their rates as well

My tank when empty takes 1100 litres, it last 13 months I never fill until it is empty so over the last 25+ years I have filled it at some stage nearly every months of the year never had an issue no matter when I filled it. Always used kerosene as it a Stanley cooker it runs

They have, just not online. 490 if you phone them though and 500 from the driver so not the worst.

What do you mean by ‘from the driver’

I would assume that would be paying the driver in cash rather than card over the phone.

The hassle of dealing in cash warrants a €10 fee

When I moved to the area I was given the driver's phone number and used to call him to arrange delivery.after he delivered I'd ring the office and they'd take the card payment. Though, on Saturday he was at my neighbours house and had a chat over the fence where he told me the pricing and I'm pretty sure he'd have driven over and delivered if I'd asked him there.

A good few drivers have personnel customers that they sell oil directly to. However it seems company specific. Know two one dose it with the company he is with other seems not to

I've seen similar with a few suppliers in Dublin.. Price on cheapest oil is less than the companies own website and the price on the phone.

Plumbthedepths · 31-03-2020 10:40pm

44.9 for Kerosene in the fuel station nearesty home. In fairness they don't deliver. However 3, 25 litre drums. I'm in town at 4 times a week . Have thrown 400 litres into the tank in the last two weeks for €180.

uck51js9zml2yt · 31-03-2020 11:01pm

I was onto a company in North Kerry today. Charging 558/1000 and no plan on going lower for now.

I then spoke to the rep and mentioned that it seemed like a little cartel with no drop in 2 weeks. He didn't like the word

vickers209 · 31-03-2020 11:06pm

If you can hold off will end of april to order prices should have dropped nicely
But on may 1st there will be an increase with the carbon tax increase of €6 per ton of carbon being applied.

Not sure what increase that will have on oil but on coal its an increase of 75c a 40kg bag,
Briquettes will also be hit bad as bord na mona are adding an increase same day as carbon tax hits,
It will add 30c to each bale,

There are rumours the tax might be postponed with current situation but notting confirmed as of yet,

There is no way they can introduce the carbon tax increase on 1 May - it would be a political disaster!

It's the perfect time to introduce it. With energy prices at record lows the tax won't be noticed that much.

Most people will be filling their tanks at current prices and will be insulated from price rises into next year

I just ordered 1000 litres in Kilkenny for €520. My Dad in Cork got a 1000 litres a few weeks ago for €670.
