Did
you know?

The
next time you see water boiling on the stove, you know exactly what
Propane is doing inside your tank. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Propane boils at 44 degrees below zero to create Propane vapor. Propane
is stored as a liquid and then used as a vapor in your appliances.
A gallon of liquid Propane creates 270 gallons of Propane vapor. As
the Propane vapor is used from your tank, Propane liquid boils to
replace it. This winter, when it is -10 degrees below zero, look at
your Propane tank and remember that the temperature is still boiling
hot to propane! |
Why
do Propane gas prices fluctuate?
-top |
In
a free market economy many supply factors affect the pricing of
all goods, including Propane. Propane comes from crude oil and natural
gas. It's wholesale pricing usually tracks the cost of crude oil.
When the OPEC Nations cuts production in an effort to increase prices,
the price of Propane also begins to rise. Weather also has a large
impact on energy prices. Colder than normal temperature will mean
greater demand and prices for all heating fuels will rise as production
companies work to meet that demand.
There
are several factors that will influence Propane prices
-Record high crude oil prices
-Record high natural gas prices
-Low US Propane inventory levels
-Low US Propane imports
According
to recent US Department of Energy statistics, Propane is HALF
the price of electricity per BTU. Propane gas is safe, clean-burning
and is still your best value!
