[AT] Profane propane prices; was Fuel prices

[jahaze at aol.com]

Carl,

Here in Michigan I locked in this summer at $2.29 for this winter, the price has since dropped but I don't know how far.? The company?I get my propane from actually bought next years supply over the summer and I bought into propane through 2009-2010 for $1.89/gallon.? That would be in line with you $1 over the 0.70 market rate.

Enjoy, Joe

I have used propane for the last 8 winters and have gotten depressed as 
every year the NYMX (NY Mercantile Exchange) price for propane slowly went 
up.  This year in July it almost hit $2.00.  In August we were offered a 
lock in price of $2.52 but they were delivering for that amount at the time. 
I decided to bet that the price would go down - and it has to less than 
$0.70 on the NYMX since early November. I have noted over time that the 
retail price has typically been about $1 over the NYMX price.
Got a fillup in the middle of November and the bill said $2.70 - the price 
hadn't exceeded $2.52 before then.  I lost my cork and talked with the owner 
of the delivery company and told him my observation.  He said blah blah 
blah - there is no propane infrastructure to speak of in NY - the NYMX 
doesn't mean much and my company is price competitive.
I think that it is a good thing we added a supplemental coal furnace this 
fall, so I don't care as much - $220/ton for coal is almost the heat 
equivalent of 500 gallons of propane.
I am interested in hearing more info on propane price from others though.
