The average cost of propane during the first four weeks of the current winter season, which begins in October, was 49% higher than last year, according to an Energy Information Administration (EIA) report. The agency noted that the low propane supply is a major reason for the increased prices.

Let's see, who was the president in 2011, the last time propane prices were this high?
Oh yeah, Obama - Brandon's boss. Are we surprised?
$2.49 would be a bargain here -- last weeks fill here of 120 gal to a "permanent" 500 gal tank was about $3.60/gal

My propane tank was filled last Thursday here in NorCal. $3.64 a gallon.
ReplyDeleteCheapest gas here is $4.50 a gallon.
PG&E Tier One rate is just over 26¢ per KwH. Tier Two is just over 32¢.
Looking on the bright side, fire season is over so I don't have to worry about my house burning down for a few months.
$.99lb in Charles Town. 2 100lb tanks (25gal) filled for $208. They always seem to waste a bit more in than I get in the tanks. That I can still pick them up and carry them tells me they're a little lighter than their meter says they are.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I get my trailer tanks filled I use a 100#fish scale before and after. Have only called out one dealer so far (Texaco)
DeleteColor me shocked, that fossil fuel is higher priced now. I mean, who could have predicted such a thing?
ReplyDeleteJust looked at my propane billing records. I haven't paid anything close to @2.59/gallon since November 2013. I've been forking over more than $3/gallon every delivery since. (Virginia)
ReplyDelete$17 to fill a BBQ tank, a standard 20#, So that's around $4/gal; I may shop around but that seems to be what it costs here in Texas. Last time I filled it was around $34 for two tanks (new).
ReplyDeleteThis is why I use barrel heaters for my greenhouses; other energy sources are too expensive or unreliable.

Amazing how voting for the commie libturds to take control of the gummint would some how change the price of EVERYTHING FOR THE WORST!!!

Worse for you, maybe. Much, much better for us.

Thanks, I just looked at my last bill $4.97 A GALLON! WTF! New Hampshire.
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP!
DeleteTime to shop around for a new supplier. Play 'em like a fiddle, Anon. They've got a lot of room to wiggle.
This might help to figure out if you're being hosed.

Gotta brag, I got my shop tank filled last month for $2.19/g. It helps to own the tank and pit the suppliers against each other.
ReplyDeleteMaybe so, but your governor is still Kate Brown.
DeleteSo much for bragging rights.
I always fill in Sept, last year $1.69/gallon, this year $1.99. I own my tank and can shop around, this year there was a 40 cent spread between the highest and lowest, 40 cents x 400 gallons= worth shopping around.
ReplyDeleteHa! A propane burn! (Pun intended!)
