Jazzer Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Do the Frech operate budget accounts for fuel purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I don't think so. Credit in France is very different to that in the UK. You can get monthly terms for electricity, although you almost always end up paying too much.You could always use a (UK!) credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkhunter Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 could be wrong here, but i'm sure that i read somewhere on the forum that a common practice is to club together with a few mates/friends and buy a tanker load, this will be at a reduced price due to quantity and could be delivered all in one day. I realise the logistics and timing has to be good, but it can be done i'm sure. Hugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eslier Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 [quote user="Jazzer"]Do the French operate budget accounts for fuel purchases?[/quote]Yes - Point Vert do.We usually buy our fioul from them and each year they send us details of their monthly payment budget account scheme. I don't personally use it and I couldn't tell you if it costs any more that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Yes - Leclerc supermarkets do. You can spread the cost over 10 months. You do not pay any more for paying this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loella Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 [:D]We buy our Fouil Oil each year through our local Marie...it makes a difference of about .04 of a Euro per litre...sounds a small amount but when you're ordering nearly 2000 litres, it can make quite a difference.

I suppose it's a bit like cheap oil in your car. Georgina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The previous owners had been running the CH boiler on Leclerc oil for 15 years, it was they who told us where to buy. We had the burner serviced last year and the ch plumber did not report any problems. That said, we have now switched to running the boiler on wood because it is a lot cheaper!PS They do 2 grades - always buy the superior grade.
