Yeah, Matt, there has been serious increases, ridiculous increases.
matched
You're talking in the last six weeks, a 32% increase for 500 litres of home heating kerosene, as it's called, same fuel that's used in jets.
matched
500 litres is now about €840.
matched
That is €200 more than it was six weeks ago.
matched
So €200 more.
matched
Now, the fuel distributors tell me, a lot of people are ringing up saying,
matched
how much would it be for 200 litres or how much would it be for 300 litres?
matched
Normally this time of the year, the 700,000 people who have home heating oil would be filling up, they'd be getting 1,000 litres to try and get them in a good way through the winter.
matched
But that ain't happening this year.
matched
It's just so expensive, people are just shocked by it.
matched
They didn't order anything over the summer.
matched
Sometimes they would order a small amount over the summer just to spread payments around a bit.
matched
But it's just so blinkin' expensive.
matched
So the government is saying now, they're getting very worried, they were saying it particularly at the ploughing yesterday, we're going to do something for home heating oil people.
matched
Nothing has been done for them.
matched
You know, gas and electricity, the VAT on that is at a reduced rate.
matched
It's down from 13.5% to 9%.
matched
That's the very least that could be done.
matched
Equalise the VAT rate, the VAT rate for...
matched
home heating oil, make it the same as it is for gas and electricity.
