Propane is still selling at less than 90 cents a gal!
Well, Jumpin’ Jack Flash. Thanks for posting. Good news BUMP!
Locked in just yesterday at 34.9 per therm. That was the best price here in metro ATL.
I know a number of people who get revenue from gas wells on their property. They are deeply saddened.
Propane tracks oil in price.
Natural gas is cheaper by unit of energy.
The American economy is in very SERIOUS TROUBLE.
But the leftist, marxist, socialist, Democratic..MSM will never tell us that,
“Propane tracks oil in price.”
Not really. Propane is selling at less than 1/3 of the price it was a couple years ago.
My electric bill, linked to the closing month end futures gas price, was only $66.00 last month and my water/home heating bill was $23.00. But living in Texas “Awl country” I wish it was higher.
In the same time oil has gone from the 90’s to the 30’s. Or about 1/3 of what it was a couple of years ago.
Yes, that is quite true :(
“But the leftist, marxist, socialist, Democratic..MSM will never tell us that,”
“It’s not rocket science.”
So true.

No problem. My electric provider locked in at the higher prices for the current billing cycle.
Gee, I'm sure this situation will last forever. /s
Driving by a local gas station is a.m. and noting the 30% price premium for Diesel it makes you wonder.
The wonder would be IMHO Diesels are boat anchors for over the road trucks, a dual fueled Otto Cycle that is Direct Injected that can handle Natural Gas and Gasoline would give far more margins for trucking firms. And no Cow P!$$ Emission systems to clean up the Diesels, a variant of the Turbo-DI's we are seeing in autos either boosted into the stratosphere or adding more cylinders would do the trick, some of these engines have gobs of torque...
90 cents! Propane is $2.15 here in rural Oregon, far from the source of supply.
There has been a growing market for Methane fueled Trucks, mostly LNG in the tanks.
But it is still a small fraction of the market. Most interstates now have LNG fueling stations making long haul trucking feasible invavlit of areas.
Cummings / Westport is one of the largest engine manufactures.
Yes I am aware of all you noted, I am not sure we have a dual fuel injector ( yet ) for Gasoline / and the Gaseous Fuel of your choice aka, LNG, or CNG....
Gasoline dual fuel with Nat Gas or propane has been available for many years. I see them more in F150s.
My last fill in Sept I paid......80 cents a Gal! ( I own my tank.)
