Thank you for being part of The Heating Oil Club community. With the heating oil market still feeling the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, prices remain far higher than before the crisis began. Even though kerosene has dropped by around 30% in recent weeks, costs are still elevated and volatility continues.

With warmer weather approaching, our advice is straightforward: if you don’t urgently need a delivery, it may be worth waiting. Mid‑summer often brings lower demand, and this year could offer an even better opportunity for savings once the market stabilises.

Our view:
- Prices remain high despite recent falls
- Market conditions are still unsettled
- Mid‑summer could offer better value for members
We’ll continue monitoring the situation closely and will update members as soon as we see clearer signs of stability.
