Heating oil up 3.1% this week, to €1.58 a litre
The average price of heating oil in Ireland rose 3.1% in the week to 19 October: a 900-litre fill now costs about €1,418, €43 more than a week earlier.
The EU Weekly Oil Bulletin puts the Irish average at €1.576 a litre including VAT and carbon tax, from €1.528 the week before.
A year ago the same fill cost about €842.
Prices vary between distributors, often by €100 or more on a fill. Getting three quotes on the day you order is the surest way to pay less.
