Title: Oil
Post by: frankie on 01 Oct, 2023, 11:13:46 am: Has anyone bought their oil for winter yet? I have half a tank left and cannot decide if I should get it now or wait until later, so maybe cost will come into the decision.

Post by: frankie on 23 Oct, 2023, 04:19:56 pm: I've just had oil delivered. It was 1.22 litre. I was told the price will not be going down anytime soon. I'd thoughtit would at least fill tank to 3/4 full but it isn't. I'll need to get more before the end of winter

Post by: frankie on 30 Oct, 2023, 02:37:50 pm: Yes, it was a bit of a shock. I only ordered 500 ltrs as I had almost half a tank, so maybe that's why. Is it cheaper the more you buy?

Post by: frankie on 06 Dec, 2023, 11:35:57 am: Wow, that makes a difference when buying in bulk. I haven't had any problems with delivery, possibly due to the fact they are based in Macael...I might see what BP are chanrging when I need a top up next year -

Sorry for the delay but I had to pick up the family from the airport and didn't get around to going on the forum.

Phone number: 679015268
Email: contacto@gonzalezcanabate.com
I sent my location via WhatsApp

The driver was a nice chap, very helpful indeed, spoke just a little English but we got by...!

Post by: Roscoe on 28 Dec, 2023, 04:42:29 pm: We also got fed up with T&P went with the supplier Wolfie recommended, much better treatment.

Post by: frankie on 29 Dec, 2023, 11:17:33 am: Sadly I was too late to order from Wolfie's suggestion. My oil was delivered on Boxing day and was €1.05 ltr How much was yours, Wolfie?
Title: Re: Oil
Post by: Wolfie on 29 Dec, 2023, 11:37:07 am: 1.08€ - I knew you were having problems with T&P, which we also used to use, so decided to change. OK, I've lost a few euros but next day delivery.

Post by: frankie on 31 Dec, 2023, 12:06:08 pm: I never wait until tank is anywhere near low before ordering. Im Ok with T&P on that basis. They always come about 4pm, and i'm always home by then...
