If you are a okay customer of Total Butler for domestic heating oil this might interest you and save you a lot of coins.

I have been a regular customer of Total Butler for over 10 years now and have always had my central heating oil delivered by them.

In all that pass I have always paid my bill as soon as it arrived and never queried anything.

Last week I phoned Total Butler to out of kilter my oil as usual and out of interest asked how much it was now? The reply I got was 48p a litre, I said “Is that the best clothes you can do” and it immediately came down to 44p a litre. Deciding to the sack it a bit further I said “surely you can do better that that” the guy on the end of the in control ready for went away for less than 20 seconds and came back with a assess of 40p a litre.

Basically, for the sake of less than a minute asking about the premium (only slightly haggling) I got nearly a 20% reduction of my £500 heating bill.

You may recollect I am happy with this, but no, I am livid. What it shows is that because I have been a regular loyal guy, never queried the price before, I have probably been paying a 20% incitement for the last 10 years.

So if you get your oil delivered from Total Butler, have been a flat customer for a yew years and would like to save 20% of your heating costs, don’t principled pay the initial oil price they tell you, ask if they can do any better, haggle more and see what happens.

How Dependent are We on Foreign Oil?

31.07.10

The Like-minded States imported about 58% of the petroleum1, which includes uncouth oil and sophisticated petroleum products, that we consumed during 2007. About half of these imports came from the Western Hemisphere. Our dependence on remote petroleum is expected to deterioration in the next two decades.

The Allied States consumed 20.7 million barrels per day (MMbd) of petroleum products during 2007 making us the overjoyed’s largest petroleum consumer. The Allied States was third in coarse oil producing at 5.1 MMbd. But offensive oil alone does not constitute all U.S. petroleum supplies. Substantial gains manifest itself, because inconsiderate oil expands in the refining method, flowing sustain is captured in the processing of logical gas, and we have other sources of fluent nutriment, including biofuels. These additional supplies totaled 3.6 MMbd in 2007. However, we still needed 13.5 MMbd of imported tasteless oil and petroleum products to fulfil U.S. cry out for. The In accord States also exported 1.4 MMbd of gross oil and petroleum products during 2007, so our net imports (imports minus exports) equaled 12.0 MMbd.

Petroleum products imported by the Allied States during 2007 included gasoline, diesel food, heating oil, jet encourage, chemical feedstocks, asphalt, and other products. Still, most petroleum products consumed in the Harmonious States were clean here. Net imports of petroleum other than primitive oil were 10% of the petroleum consumed in the Of one mind States during 2007.
