Good Time Or Bad Time To Buy Home Heating Oil?

[Lex Foutish]

I just discovered here that 1000 litres of home heating oil will cost me about €800. I dipped my tank and just might have enough to get me through to after the summer.

With the goings on in the Arab world, I'm wondering if I should fill up now or wait till September/October...........

I'm filling mine to the brim before the end of the week and will hopefully not use it 'til next winter begins.

I'm thinking that's the better option too, Paddy.

The last time oil prices peaked, Michael O'Leary pre-purchased his fuel @ €120 a barrel. Shortly after it was making €60 a barrel.

Unless you have a crystal ball, buy when you need it. One fill or half a fill is not going to have a huge saving/loss within the bigger picture.
