Use live signals for timing
Market conditions can change quickly. Compare current supplier quotes in Roscommon and set a price alert if your target is below today's average.

1. Compare Prices Before You Order
Never auto-renew without checking the market first. Local quotes can diverge by county, volume, and delivery slot even on the same day.

2. Order Larger Quantities
Delivery costs are relatively fixed whether a tanker drops 300L or 1000L, so the per-litre price is usually lower on larger fills.
- 300L: Most expensive per litre. Emergency top-up only.
- 500L: Standard order size, better value.
- 1000L: Usually the best value if your tank can hold it.
3. Time Your Purchase with Live Data
Historical patterns are useful context, but they are not reliable in fast-moving markets. The best approach is to monitor live county prices, compare multiple suppliers, and buy before your tank reaches a critical level.
If your tank is under half, prioritize security of supply first. If you have more flexibility, use alerts and live county pricing to track movement in Roscommon before placing an order.
4. Understand What You're Paying For
Your total price includes crude-linked product costs, refining and distribution costs, carbon tax (~€0.161/L), and VAT (13.5%). Here's the approximate breakdown for a typical Roscommon order:

- "Through the house" delivery charges
- Minimum order surcharges on small fills
