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...Sunny Boy wrote:... home heating oil is over $2.50 a gallon
