Seeing the price of oil and gas and diesel fuel is going down, Why is the price of propane going up. Is it because its been so warm in the northeast that they haven't been selling enough? I just got a delivery and it went up 5cents a gallon more than last month. I think it's a rip-off.

The rip off is that the propane comes out of the ground, goes to a cryo plant that pays 38 cents a gallon for it, then it gets stripped and smashed, then loaded on rail cars and sold for 40 cents a gallon.
So, they give the land owner 38 cents, then sell it for 40 cents, and none of us can buy it. It's bullsh...

Yall should not complain. I priced it yesterday. The cheapest place here is $1.69.
I bought my own tank, so I can get 10 cents a gallon off that price.

One year (wet fall for crops... and a very cold winter) the price was high when I called to order a delivery, I asked why. The guy said, "It's because demand is so high this year."
The VERY NEXT year (dry fall and a very mild winter) the prices was also high. I said, "Ouch! Why are the prices so high?". The said, "It's because demand for LP is down this year."
So apparently, you can't win.

Had my shop tank filled a couple of weeks ago for $1.03 off the truck. I contract my house propane with a "keep filled" agreement, so I usually just make the monthly budget payments and don't worry about the price. Without looking it up, I think this year's contract was $1.40 per gallon. Every spring, they adjust my account one way or the other.

Central Wisconsin, $0.79 per gal. I did not buy any wood-pellets for pellet stove at that price.

Here in the middle of Colo. $1.37. The lowest I have seen was $1.16 mid summer.
I'm sorry about not posting what I had to pay for propane. I heat with it. The price per gallon was $2.20 and if it is paid within 10 days they knock off $.30 per gal. What really burns me up is a $7.95 compliance charge every delivery. I know it doesn't do any good to rant, but I feel better. Thanks for the comebacks

Contracted this fall at $1.19 pretty sure it's below that now!
That is Markwest's tank. They are done with it now, and have a giant Markwest logo painted on it. You are up the hill from the mess that Shell is making over at Horsehead. They sure did go bonkers taking trees and hills out. Coming out route 18, I didn't even recognize where I was until got under route 60. Lots of giant quarry or strip mine dump trucks excavators and dozers over there. They are not wasting time building, even with the price down in the dumps. I guess the whole complex will eventually house petrochemical manufacturing onsite, so it will provide a local market for the wet gas.
