Market conditions for propane are changing all the time and we are constantly reviewing the market to get the best savings to pass on to you. BP's latest attempt to stem the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf has not succeeded in keeping the heavy oil from choking off Louisiana's delicate wetlands. Meanwhile, the Justice Department has begun a criminal investigation into the spill, and the deliberate lack of preparedness driven by the demand to minimize expense. An additional detail is that the ship that held the "mud" used to seal the well was attached to the platform. When oil caught flame that burst out of the pipe at the top of the platform, those manning the ship pulled it away, and, in so doing, snapped the pipe at the bottom.              

       The oil market, however, has turned its focus to the weakening U.S. and European economies: with slower growth predicted, oil prices continue to drop. BP's position as a global supplier of oil nevertheless continues to deteriorate as it continues to battle a public liability disaster with no real success. Were BP's production and refining capacity to suffer as a result, prices once again could spike. There is still no telling whether the Houston Ship Channel, through which much of the crude oil gets delivered to the refineries, will remain passable. All of these uncertainties in the weeks to come will affect the price you pay for propane.
        Even though our pure HD5 propane comes from natural gas processing, the price of oil drives the entire market. Protect yourself from this uncertain market with a summer fill now, while the market supply is high and prices very low. Take advantage of the market to get pure HD5 propane that burns cleaner and lasts longer at a price that stretches your propane dollar.
