Paraffin comes from same source as petrol and diesel, so will be similar in price to them - around £1.40 - £1.50 per litre But nearly 60p of that is road fuel duty, the base oil cost and profits for the supply chain on road fuel costing £1.40 at the pump is around 55p... (28p VAT, 58p Duty). Hence heating oil being about 60p/l delivered. Electricity is about 14p per kWh (although only about 6 pence per kWh on Economy 7 rate, ... You need to find a better tariff, I pay 9.04p/unit but that isn't E7. The E7 is 17.41/5.8 but that has *no* other charges and all units are at that rate. If we used much from the E7 supply I'd shop around for a better tariff. I'd expect to knock a good 4p of the peak rate and a couple of p off the off peak. If the OP does have E7 then using that rather than oil even at 60p/l may well be the cheapest option. But a good value normal tariff would be more expensive than oil at 60p/l but not at garden centre paraffin prices... -- Cheers Dave. |
