It’s the same scenario with heating oil. I am one of over a 1.5 million households living off grid with no chance of ever getting gas living in rural locations. We are also being ripped off as the price is linked to the price of Brent Oil price per barrel in dollars which changes every day. At its peak the Brent Crude Oil last year was $120 per barrel and 500 litres of heating oil was around £410. This will last me in the winter around 4-5 weeks. Today the price of Brent Crude is considerable less around $84 per barrel yet all the independent oil companies are quoting just less than £400. There is obviously a cartel and blatant profiteering in operation. There is no regulation by the government, but they they did give us a token payment of £100 last winter ( in Northern Ireland the government gave each off grid home £600) This government promised a review of the situation, but like all there other promises no action was ever taken.
