Anyone know whether there is a trend to buying domestic heating oil in smaller quantities, say 500 litres instead of 1000 litres? I know of one or two households that are doing this, but I don't know how widespread it is. This is in part due to the high cost (some people just don't have the ready money for a full tank) and partly because people expect a bigger winter fuel payment from the government. However, the price per litre is usually around 3% more expensive when one buys the smaller volume.
