A German online heating oil platform registered record fuel sales on the day that crude prices plunged to a four-year low earlier this month.

The Heizoel24 sales platform handled the highest volume on April 9 for any day since it started operations 20 years ago, Managing Director Oliver Klapschus said Wednesday. The volume of heating oil sold that week was six times the normal level, he said.
