    Top Coast Oil worked out cheapest with 4 local companies

    81 cent a litre:

    For €700 I was quoted 850 litres twice, 855 litres and 864 litres, Top Coast giving 864 litres...

    forgot to mention, 4 euro cheaper ordering by credit card, not worth the bother in my book..

    thanks

    I'd say the best plan is to phone 3 or 4 suppliers in the local area and ask how much a litre is. Or ask "how many litres with I get for €xxx. And ask if thery're doing any deals. It can change from day to day

    There is a website www.cheapestoils.ie. HOWEVER, it didnt give me the cheapest oil option...so be careful with that one. stay warm! :D

    Anyone gotten oil from Sligo Fuels? Have heard mixed reports about them trying to rip people off and given less oil than they say they are.

    Also anyone know where we can buy timber trailer loads?
