West Sussex has a meaningful off-grid community in its rural areas and historic villages. While urban centres are well gassed, the countryside - particularly in AONBs and older estate villages - has many properties where mains gas was never installed. The South East tends to run slightly above the national average on price, making supplier comparison especially worthwhile.
The average price today is 94.8p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 1p above the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across West Sussex.
A 500-litre delivery in West Sussex costs approximately £498 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.

Most West Sussex 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.
Yes. West Sussex 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.
