Crude had gone up about 25% at the time, but heating oil had more than doubled in 4 days. Ours was ordered the week before and delivered Friday for £338 for 500l inc vat.
Petrol has jumped 8p at Tescos, but less at shell, so only a couple of pence between the two. Diesel however approx 12p/ litre more at shell than Tesco.
I think fuel being stable so long has flattered inflation rates, it doesn’t seem to have moved more than a few pence either way in 3 years or so.
