said by macsierra:Propane is expensive because of the monopoly with only a few gas companies having access to supplies. The spot price in Mont Belvieu, TX this week is about 75 cents a gallon where they have millions of gallons of excess propane stored in salt caverns. They burned propane off for years because of no place to store it.
Propane in VA shouldn't cost over $1.25 a gallon tops with truck transport costs plus a decent profit. At 4.27 pounds per gallon a semi transport can carry 11,000 gallons. But because of regulations and monopolies we are all screwed. I paid $2.59 a gallon the other day for LPG motor fuel from my buddy and a had few bottles filled.
That's interesting as I look at propane as pretty cheap energy. I don't have natural gas available.... Oil hovered around $4/gallon for most of the winter.... electricity in CT was expensive (and problematic as CL&P had their infamous double meltdown last fall).
But me... my propane came in at a high price of $2.288/gal and low price of $2.125/gal over the winter. Correcting for btu differences in the fuels... propane comes out ahead by a wide margin and is the most versatile as I can run a wide variety of devices in including a backup generator.
It's all in perspective I guess... propane is the least expensive here in eastern CT at this time. |
