Ordering 500 litres or more unlocks better per-litre rates than a 300-litre order. Comparing multiple local suppliers on the day you want to order, avoiding emergency deliveries (which cost 8-15p per litre more) and timing your order outside peak winter demand (October-February) are the most reliable ways to reduce your fuel bill.
Yes. Argyll and Bute has a significant number of rural properties beyond the mains gas network that rely on oil as their primary heating fuel. This is particularly true in older farming villages, estate properties and countryside homes built before modern gas infrastructure existed.
Compare quotes from at least three suppliers on the day you want to order - prices can move several pence per litre week to week based on global crude oil movements. Ordering a larger volume (500L or 900L instead of 300L) and timing your order for spring or summer can also reduce the price per litre. Our comparison form shows you the suppliers available at your exact postcode.
