Kevin Brennan, representing Cardiff West, added said: We have got 72 hours ahead of us of inclement weather, which means oil supplies will be even more disrupted.
Pat Glass, Labour MP for North West Durham, accused oil suppliers of utter exploitation.
And Conservative backbencher Neil Parish, representing Tiverton and Honiton, added: Isnt it time you took on the oil companies and ensure constituents get a fair deal as many of my constituents have no choice but to have oil?
Audrey Gallacher, head of energy at Consumer Focus, said: The price of crude oil has risen far less than the cost of heating oil, calling into question why suppliers are charging so much more.
According to the Boilerjuice comparison website, the average price for a litre of heating oil stood at 43p in June, compared to 71p today. In the last month alone, the price has risen from an average of 46p. It stood at 41p this time last year and 39p two years ago.
There was further bad news for consumers when it emerged that petrol prices had reached a record high.
Motorists are now paying 122.14 a litre for petrol, 3.06 pence more than a month ago, while diesel has hit 126.19 pence a rise of 3.12 pence.
It means that drivers have to find nearly £7 more than they did last December to fill up an average car.
Before the election, the Conservatives had promised to introduce a fuel stabiliser to prevent sudden price hikes.
