Hey, I thought energy prices were going down...
Just got a visit from the propane truck...$5+ a gallon (highest it's ever been). $600+ delivery for maybe a month and a half of heat (if it starts getting cold).

Sure is good that they're thinking of the little people! :sarcasm:

1. its the old bait and switch
lower gas prices now, since cold weather is coming and not as many people drive for vacation,taking rides, etc. BUT we will jack up home heating cost since people need that instead. gas prices will go back up when winter is over

Of course, I haven't done much baking lately, but anyway...

4. And I found out an interesting bit of info today
Another local company's only charging $2.49 a gallon (less that half what those bastards at Suburban are charging). I guess since they're a smaller company, they don't have a CEO that I need to bail out.

5. Prices were going down ?
Well, toilet paper has gone up a lot too.

Likely because of supply and demand.
Politicians all taking a big shit due to the "sudden" total crisis as to all and everything.

Cheers.
