Sir, – Last week I purchased 600 litres of kerosene home heating oil for €594. Crude oil prices have only increased by 10 per cent over the last week. It should normally take a month or so for that to reflect at the pump. Suppliers are all ripping households off, using the Middle East conflict as an excuse. – Yours, etc,PAUL DELAHUNTYCo Wexford.
