I ordered a fill last night via BoilerJuice at 55p/l. We're still half full but hopefully we'll avoid the coming pricing blip/end of the world etc. That'll easily last to next summer assuming we don't go into deep freeze for the next 6 months...
Just ordered 500 litres at 56p/litre including VAT.
Not too bad and that will see us through until the warmer weather and cheaper oil prices, Trump/Putin notwithstanding.
Prices have not jumped as much as I thought they might so far this autumn/winter - although haven't petrol/diesel prices actually dropped a bit since August?
End of August the cheapest for us here was 62ppl inc VAT, Scottish Borders.
500 litres - £342. South Fife. Boilerjuice quote was £20 more expensive tail end of last week.
53.5ppl delivered yesterday, in N Yorks.
Anyone know if companies will buy oil back?? Could possibly see if the landlord would pay for it I guess, or someone else local?
Asking as we're moving to a house we've bought from rented at the end of December and will have a load of oil left in the tank at our rented place as we only filled it in the summer and won't have used that much by then.
Need to leave it with 2 bars (same as when we moved in and inventoried) but currently have 9 bars of a 1300l tank, so there's a good few pennies sat ther.
IMO that’s like buying a car, if you leave petrol in it the new buyer gets it for free
Or it's going to be very warm in the longdog household this month 😀
Yeh if it comes to it we'll be toasty warm for a while.
We're renting on a farm funkydunk, I know for sure if we leave it the farmer/landlord will be sucking it out anyway, not leaving it for the next tenant. We just have to make sure there's two bars left in the tank like when we moved in. Bit of a difference between £40 worth of petrol in a car and £400 worth of oil.
Borrow some jerrycans and take it to a pal's house?
As a landlord renting out an oil heated property, we have a charge/refund at local market rate clause in the tenancy agreement for start/finish oil level difference. It helps the regular shape tank is exactly 1mm/litre. In longdogs case discuss well before move out date, and if landlords thinks he's getting 100s litres free, jerry cans are go!
Just paid 49.2ppl here in the Cotswolds.
Cheers Steveb, we'll rise it as soon as we hand our notice in. Unfortunately our neighbour is still on solid fuel otherwise I'd try to do a deal with them. My nearest mate who's on oil is in Shetland, so not a lot of use lol!
Just remember oil stinks spills even small are obvious.
Be sure if you do sell it it's collected responsibly and carefully or you'll be on the hook for clean up.
