💡 Smart Buying Tips
Buy in autumn (September–October) — before the winter rush. Prices typically rise 10–15% from November onwards as demand spikes.
Watch the weather forecast — cold snaps cause demand surges and price spikes within 24-48 hours. Buy before the cold front arrives.
Buy more, pay less per litre — 900L is almost always cheaper per litre than 300L. If you have the tank space, top up fully.
Buy with neighbours — some suppliers offer discounts for bulk deliveries to the same street. Worth asking!
Oil prices follow crude oil — when you hear oil prices dropping on the news, check back here within a few days for cheaper heating oil.
