Just bought some fuel oil (fioul)

We have always found Geraud Tampier from Septfonds to be very quick, courteous and competitively priced. Today's delivery of 1000 Quatre Saisons fioul was actually 68 euros cheaper than the same day last year.
As the delivery man was M Tampier himself I asked about buying in bulk as a group, as some people here and in the UK do. He said that 10000 litres delivered to various customers on the same day could give reasonable savings and suited him too - provided the deliveries were within a radius of about 10 kms. The current price for 1000 litres is about 900 euros so even a saving of 5% would be worthwhile. No doubt other suppliers (such as Miquel at Caylus) would be equally amenable, so it may be worth asking neighbours to see if a buying group can be set up. Some may need to break off from their traditional supplier and align their orders but if anyone can get a group together we would be interested to pass on their experiences.
