According to cheapestoil every oil supplier in wexford is the same price?

They nearly always are, it's not the site.

One changes price and they all match within a day or two, never the cheapest across the country either.

During the big drops last year Wexford never hit the lows many other counties saw, all it would have taken was one supplier to undercut but as a previous poster has said they operate a nice little cartel and they all held the line and kept their nice margins at the expense of consumers.

Pro-rata for 1000L will cost an additional ~€18.89

Might be cheaper to fill in June or July? Flying could take off again (

) so anybody’s guess. €20 in tax might be the least of our worries.

all the fracking companies in the US are starting up again and you will find the Saudis and Russians will start producing more and prices may fall back.

Currently prices are at near 6 year highs, so hopefully there will be some softening

Sill have 2300 l of the 3000 l I bought for 1100 euro or so last May. At least 2 more winters before I need to buy oil !

I'd get a preservation additive just to be on the safe side as diesel can get "old" and cause issues

And if you check cheapestoil it’s €320 and if you go direct to their website and enter the code it’s €317.50, based on 500lts. Hmm

Will it drop again in May once the carbon tax is added. Summer is here then?

Carbon tax was already added. It's the solid fuel that will be getting the extra carbon tax on may 1st

I believe home heating oil is a solid fuel for tax purposes?

I use the Apollo Ultrasonic oil level gauge and it works well.

doubtful. Oil price seems to be higher this week and a big return to air travel and motoring will see fuel demand increase.

I second that, mine works perfectly since I put a new battery in the transmitter, it was very unreliable before that. When I'm servicing the burner I take out the transmitter and give it a wipe with some kitchen roll as that white stuff builds up on it.

Fair to say one of the few positives from the pandemic, oil prices, is over.

Lowest prices have been steadily rising over the summer back to being just short of the €700/1000L mark at the start of 2020 as we head into the cooler months.

Also Carbon Tax will be increased again in Budget 2022. It is currently €33.50 a tonne and could increase to around €41 a tonne. That would mean will mean about a 2.5 cent increase in the cost of a litre of diesel and 2 cents on a litre of petrol

Where is the best place for home heating now? Do any NI suppliers deliver down south (e.g. down to Meath area)? Everywhere in Ireland seems to be €380 for 500l/€710 for 1000l, except up the North, were it is about €550 for 1000l.
