    Texoil dropped prices by 60euro for 1000 litres since friday. Was 640 now 580 in Galway
    It's going to be cheaper in 2-3 weeks as crude oil dropped 23% on todays markets

    Nice, I had been hoping for a drop as we are about a month away from a fill.

    Had a look at their website there. 1,000L is €595 in Dublin, Cork but €580 in the western counties.

    Got 595 in Limerick too, still cheaper than most I think unless someone wants to point me somewhere else.

    Got a call to say they don't deliver to where we are so back on the market. Assuming similar drops across the board from next week-ish? Can see Mór Oil (who also don't deliver here) down to €580 as of today so I'm guessing so.

    CheapestOil.ie is a good comparison website to get a general feel of prices nation wide

    https://www.cheapestoil.ie/heating-oil-prices/Dublin

    Also, there's a price war over oil production between Saudia Arabia and Russia at the moment which means in the near term prices are going to trend downwards in my opinion.

    €0.55 a litre with Top Oil today for about 650l

    Not sure if that's good? Checking the last order from late last year it's down about €0.13 a litre

    €380 for 1000 liters with J&P derrynose but expect it to drop further in next week.
    DERV white isn't dropping at nearly the same rate.

    This is why i hate having LPG. The 2 suppliers in the cosy cartel NEVER drop prices, only increase.....

    Christ, I remember paying nearly a grand for 1000 litres back in 2010ish. Having to collect the share from housemates after we ran out and waiting 5 cold days before we could get it all the money together.

    If you're collecting oil from the likes of J&P derrynose do you need a licence/permit to tow a 1000 litres of oil behind you?

    Surely you need a license, but honestly i don't know.

    Definitely not if it's in a proper fuel bowser.

    In drums, you could be facing a real problem if you crashed alright. I often carry 10 drums in the back of an SUV or purchase 3-4 drums of paraffin and carry them. Definitely not against my insurance policy anyway.

    Hardly a bomb. Kerosene doesn't explode. Won't even light if you drop a match onto it.

    Won't catch fire by itself but in the event of a crash towing it if there's a heat source then it's very flammable.
    Give me the choice 1000l water or kerosene to tow and I'll let you take the kerosene.
