Propane Prices

[westie2]

I work for a large putry companyand we also have our own propane division. WE got e-mails to day to lock in this winters pricing.

Part of the e-mail

Propane futures have hit historic 10 year lows recently and may change quickly.

I know of several that have propane. Thought you might like to know.

Propane prices

Those prices are unbelievable! There is one major heating oil/propane company in the state that has bought up a good majority of the other dealers (one that I used). Since they own my tank (I have what they call a pig) and I have them come once a year for a fillup and last September I paid $4.29/gal. They tried to charge me a $50 tank rental fee on top of that because they said I dont use enough (I keep pilots off at all times unless they are running and my range has electronic ignition). I sent the bill back minus a $50 advertising charge for their name being on the tank. I think they got the message. My brother bought his own tank and has the lowest price one deliver his. Someday I will do the same.
