    Current price is based on the oil prices of over two weeks ago which were 15% lower than Friday's price.

    It's important to know that Brent north sea crude price is the reference price for Europe.

    US oil (wti/west Texas) is a light oil and needs a lot more refining to turn to fuel. Hence its always cheaper.

    I would hold off for a couple of weeks lads.
    Price of oil collapsed overnight due to the worldwide storage issues.

    Carbon tax increase applies from friday week 1st may will add about 2c per litre i.e add €20 to 1000 litres

    Probably wont be noticed as much with prices falling either way,

    The problem is that only American light crude dropped. Brent crude is still $27 and is still above the $23 from 3 weeks ago.

    Brent pricing is what is used in Europe and Middle East.

    But with warmer days, there's no rush and I can't see prices rising, so except for the extra carbon tax, there's nothing to push people to order

    Brent Oil is down 3.35% overnight and is still dropping.

    Still above the $23 it dropped to 3 weeks ago and current price reflects that price.

    Only 17c of the current price reflects the oil price. So if oil dropped to $15 for Brent, another 6-7c would come off the price. Or €60-€70 on 1000 litres.

    Remember, it has to be refined, brought to port, carbon tax added, and distribution costs added and 13.5% vat. These costs are all relatively constant (except vat) no matter what the price of oil is.

    Or put it another way, if oil was free, 1000l would still cost about €250

    Brent crude oil is the one that affects our prices.

    Article says its about contracts to purchase for May delivery which expire today. Nobody wants the cost or hassle of storage, so they are paying people to take it off their hands.

    Do you have a link for this? Topaz Ireland is now Cirlce K, I can't find anything about heating oil on their site?
    Thanks

    I'm in Mayo and usually order from Corrib Oil, online they are quoting €500 for 1000 litres. Jones Oil quoting €430 for 1000 litres. I could call Corrib and say Jones have it for 43c/l, but could I do better?

    Brent oil has dropped to $20, so there is no need for anyone to rush a delivery.

    Prices in most places will be under €400 for 1000L for the foreseeable future. Even the extra carbon tax will not make a difference except for a few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭tommycahir


    Few Prices for Carlow:
    Mr oil is showing €384.00 for 1015 ltrs and €200.64 for 500 ltrs using the code april2020
    Campus oil is showing €384.05 for 1000 ltrs and €204.00 for 500 ltrs using the code car25
    Top oil is showing €384.97 for 1000 ltrs and €207.00 for 500 ltrs using the code gaa20

    Top oil in Thurles is €450 for 1000 ltrs with the €20 discount code. Going to wait till it gets cheaper here.

    Yep, Brent has continued to drop steadily and closed at 19.71 today, the lowest price since 2002.

    Interesting one.


    I was in Jones oil in Tallaght today getting diesel, and casually asked how much 500l of kerosene was, delivered to D24. She quoted me 200 euro.



    Just been on their site and it quotes me 250 euro....

    395 for 1000 in South Kilkenny with campus oil, "cm15"
    For 15 euro off online quotes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    If anyone is quoted over €400 online, ring the depot and ask for the price.

    Many of these places are not up to date on technology and the website operator is dependent on the local distributor to inform them of the price.

    So a quick call might save you a few quid.

    Plenty of tanks for sale second hand. I was thinking of buying one and keeping a few hundred litres spare. I doubt we'll get it at this price again.

    Just keep it safe though, theres plenty of lads in vans who would relieve you of 1000 litres very quickly
