Thanks everyone. Didn't know about the boiler efficiency database or even that replacing the same model (old for new) could make such a difference. 18% is alot of money these days and I know, for myself, that my boiler is non-condensing so it could go higher.

I know I'm coming a bit late to this discussion but there's a new site thats just started (exclusive to Northern Ireland for a change) that shows a list of about 18 different oil suppliers in Northern Ireland and how much they charge for a standard delivery of 900 litres.
