Hampshire's oil market is concentrated in its two very different landscapes: the New Forest National Park, where tens of thousands of rural properties rely on oil, and the rural northern and eastern areas around Alton, Petersfield and the South Downs. Southampton and Portsmouth are fully gassed, but much of rural Hampshire - from the Test Valley to the Forest - remains off-grid. Hampshire benefits from good supplier competition due to its proximity to Southampton port and major fuel distribution infrastructure.
The average price today is 93.6p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 0.2p below the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across Hampshire.
A 500-litre delivery in Hampshire costs approximately £491 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.
Suppliers serving Hampshire include Certas Energy, Watson Fuels, Your NRG, Goff Petroleum and others. Availability depends on your exact postcode - use the form above to compare quotes for your address.
Most Hampshire suppliers deliver within 3-5 working days for a standard order. Some offer express or next-day delivery for an additional charge. During cold spells, lead times extend across the board - order when your tank reaches a quarter full to avoid being caught short.
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.
The New Forest National Park contains strict planning rules that limited gas mains installation, and many of its 38,000 homes are in isolated forest clearings, estate villages and listed buildings unsuited to modern heat pump retrofits. Approximately a third of New Forest homes use oil, making it one of the most oil-dependent districts in southern England.
Several strong regional suppliers are based in or near Hampshire, benefiting from proximity to the Southampton fuel terminal. This generally keeps prices competitive across SO, SP and GU postcodes. Always compare national and regional quotes side by side - the regional players often match or beat the nationals in well-served areas.
