wow how cold is it ..

we live in a village that has no mains gas so the residents either have oil or tank gas.

well just noticed we are running very very low , so have rang round a few companies (well all of the local ones to us) to get a price and delivery date. 1 company said it is taking them an hour to ring customers back just with a quote and wouldn't even tell me if they could deliver before xmas until i had a quote. they rang me back 3 hrs later lol and over £70 dearer than the company who i managed to get some oil from,who cannot deliver until sometime after the week commencing 4th jan but at least i know have some oil on its way .

really dont know how these companies can justify such a big price difference in a litre of oil. i paid 66pence per litre but other companies are charging upto 76 pence( well thats the highest i found)

does everyone else shop around or do you just stay loyal to the same company time after time.

to conserve on fuel you should suggest gatherings round peoples houses etc so only a few houses need to be heated - great way to get to know your neighbours

I pay into a budget scheme which is paying more interest to me than the bank does!

Has the bonus that I never get a nasty bill come tank filling time, and I can still haggle over price.

Check out boilerjuice.com to check prices.

the community center in our village tried that lol.

they decided to open for all the residents ( was mainly aimed at the elders of the village) so they had somewhere to go that was warm and welcoming . even had people willing to collect those that could get there , but unfortunately no one was interested,

everyone just keeps themselves to themselves . a bit sad really

ah well you cant win them all.

we have in the past used comparison sites to find the cheapest oil, just had the mother in law going on lol

have thought about doing a payment plan but never get round to it , we always find the money lol
