Central heating oil £1.01 today
Glad I got delivery last week. And I brimmed the tank on my van.
I suspect the price will be down to normal again in about 2 weeks though
Spoke to a supplier yesterday. Annoyingly I didn't book up last week.
They weren't pricing deliveries as the market was so volatile. Would deliver, if I wanted/needed it but price would be whatever it was. His implication was that companies that were providing prices were erring massively on the side of caution and adding ~5ppl on top of the already significant rises, to minimise their risk of selling at xxppl only for the fuel they pick up from the port to supply it the next day be xx+5ppl.
Suggestion was that the market usually relaxes back a bit, after initial panics and to therefore hold off buying if possible.
Heating oil can wait until summer here. But not Derv or Gasoil.
