    Friend of mine was getting it for 19p/litre about five years ago - currently it's 59p/litre. :evil:

    That's buying 500 litres at a time, mind you...

    For North Americans, does anyone have experience burning #1 heating oil in pressure stoves and lanterns designed for kerosene / paraffin? Any advice?
