I need to renew my contract with my supplier and have a choice between fixed and standard/variable deals. What are members' forecasts on gas and electricity prices over the next 12 months please, up, level or down?

Just fixed mine into next year. Govt. interference may cause a slight drop, but I doubt there is much difference.
If you fix you understand your costs for the period
|
|
I usually go for a capped rate rather than fixed. If by some chance fuel prices fall I benefit from the drop, but the price can't go up, at least until the end of the deal.

Petrol's fairly cheap at the moment, still under 130p a litre round here. Not much more than six and a half quid a gallon... OMG, my heart my heart, nurse! Doctor!
Vodka hasn't gone up and wood is free, if a bit damp.

The price of Texas tea isn't overly painful at the moment: www.boilerjuice.com/heatingOilPrices.php

Dunno about that Dog. Including VAT just paid 63p a litre this week.

I mainly rely on the multi-fuel stove to heat this 3 bed cottage so I've only bought 500l of oil in the 3 years (in April) that we've been here.
When I do place an order I get it from www.communityenergyclub.org.uk/ which works out a bit cheaper, especially when ordering a 'small' amount like I do.
I've been threatening to see how much oil I would use if I relied on that for heating instead of having to clean the stove out / chop wood for kindling / get the coal in / take the ashes down to the recycling centre, but ya know ... I think it would be better to just sell up and move to Spain or Cyprus :)
