At 1,537 euros per 2,000 litres, heating oil in September 2018 cost 8 percent more than in the month before and 85 percent more than at the beginning of 2016. “A further price increase is likely,” said Check24 energy expert Oliver Bohr. While gas prices are currently at a relatively low level, many providers have announced price increases for the end of 2018, the service website says.
