Does anyone have a crystal ball?  My heating supplier - LPG has just hiked the price - to 52p per litre variable - OR 49p fixed for 12 months - plus VAT of course - 49 p looks like a no brainer but - I am not sure??Undecided  I am trying another supplier to see what gives though.

Thanks DD - I did know it was linked to oil - which is kind of why I asked the question about the crystal ball.  My internet search produced someone selling at 31p per litre - VAT but it remains to be seen if they will deliver here in the sticks.  Prices at the petrol pumps seem to be varying a lot at the moment.  I feel more comfortable with a fixed price I think - but it would be annoying if the price was to go down a lot!  However the current economical climate would suggest that to be unlikely?

Pippah, we are also on LPG fuel and my contract is due up in January. I've had a little look around to see how prices are although I know they will change before my contract is up. We are with Flogas (MacGas in Scotland) and have been for years, I always look around and then call my supplier and barter with them. Calor usualy offer a good deal to a new customer so I play my supplier off against them. We don't have as many choices as you may have down your way. The best prices are usualy offered to the highest consumer, we have reduced our litres used over the last 5 years with us going away more and for longer so not sure if theis next time I'll be able to get such a good deal. Will follow this thread with interest to see just how good a price you can get.  Last time I got it down to less than calor and a free tank of gas (it was almost empty) + £150 credited to my account. Calor was giving £150 to new customers + a tank of gas.

Thank you David.

Yes Tammygirl I took advantage of that Calor free deal - Flogas couldn't match it although they were more reliable at deliveries.  Calor haven't put a foot wrong yet this time though - I explained in detail that if they let me down I would take the contract and tear it up!

Cheers Pippah, so are you going to stay with Calor?

I am waiting to see what other providers can offer - the 31p per litre is very interesting but I don't know if I qualify for that price - maybe they will get round to answering my queries tomorrow.

Pippah,

I have just signed with Avantigas for 29 pence per litre year 1 and 32 pence per litre year 2. I do pay rental on the underground tank at around £100 per year though.

I understand that the LPG industry has been compelled to make switching between suppliers a simple process now.

I would suggest that your current supplier is having a laugh at 49 pence per litre. LPG for road use is only around 57 ppl and thats taxed differently.
