    Can anyone recommend the best place to order oil? I need to fill my tank very soon. Is it a good time to buy?

    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. :)

    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.

    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).

    That's a big rise considering that on 23/10/09 chilly was quoted by Suttons €235 for 450 litres, which is €0.52 per litre, and ended up paying €0.51 per litre (post #97).

    I got quoted €270 for 500Litres= 54c/litre from Corrib oil. Friend of mine got 300 litres for €200 =66c/litre last week so I think he got ripped off a bit!:D He ordered by the amount of money not by amount of oil which makes a big difference.

    Odds are fuel supplies will be affected by the carbon tax in next weeks budget. Maybe it is a good time to stock up on the old briquettes and oil

    1400litres from Suttons €740 today.

    I realise that may not be the cheapest but Suttons consistantly have good quality kerosene. Had my boiler serviced recently and my plumber was telling me that some companies are messing with the oil mix making it 'dirty'; which is guaranteed to screw your boiler. Something to keep in mind if you get a really cheap quote.

    My brother in law delivers oil and he told me its amazing the amount of gunk in the tank when the tank is nearly empty. anyone getting a fill with the tank almost empty are likely to get dirt into their boiler he said !

    My other brother in law services boilers and he stuck a filter on the oil inlet to my boiler. you should see how that gets dirty over a few months
