Almost two years ago propane was over $5, pushing 6 in our area. Yesterday I bought a tank full for 79.9 cents/gal. I think that's about the least it's been since I've been buying it. Jerry

Quite a drop .. always good to have alternate systems to get the best price for the application.

Pro-pain just dipped below $2.00 here, this week. And home heating oil is over $2.50 a gallon. Still too high to buy!

Coal bin's full for the winter, so let them keep it.

Heating oil here jumped from $1.89 to $1.99, so I called them to fill me up. Probably just what they had in mind to suck in folks like me who were waiting for still lower prices. Well, it worked... :P
