Just wondering what you are paying for propane in WI. Last year I was locked in at $1.59/gal, not great not terrible. Today got the rates for the coming year, ranging from $2.39-$2.50/gal depending on the program you choose (pre-buy, keep fill, call to fill). Not good, guess I will look a little further into the pellet stoves, although buying pellets isn't too attractive either plus the $2k-$3k price for the stove...

Dont forget, propane is a derivitive of oil. The more oil costs the more gasoline, diesel and propane will cost. Nuff said Henry
Seems it comes from BOTH, WIKI Says...
Propane is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a liquid that is transportable. It is derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. It is commonly used as a fuel for engines, barbecues, and home heating systems.

Those prices, $2.29 - $2.50 are consistent with what we're seeing in Michigan--at least from our supplier.

Solar isn't easy but what choice do we have? I've complained about LP 6 months ahead of you. Since then I've built 100 sq. ft of solar air, 80 sq. ft of solar hot water and insulation. You'll still need LP occasionally but only a fraction of present use. It's fun watching the keep full guy scatching his head staring at a almost full tank.

Just filled the pool heater tanks for 62cents/liter,$2.35/gallon. They supply the tanks too.
Other local dealers are up to 89cents/liter$3.36/gallon.
Electric resustance heating is cheaper here at $2.09/gallon equivalent to LP at 85% efficiency.
Going to get a set of solar panels for the pool and domestic hot water on of these days.

Propane is a derivative of petroleum; Compressed natural gas is a completely different product. It liquifies at a much higher pressure, and requires very heavily built tanks. You don't see it used much by the general public- the high pressures involved are just too dangerous.
Yeah it's cheaper than gasoline, but I don't think anyone uses gas to heat their house. I understand everything is going up, but propane companies (and heating oil) have their customers where they can't do anthing about it (except install a new type of heat source), where companies that provide natural gas I believe need to ask permision to raise their prices (even though i don't think i have ever heard them being denied a price increase)

Propane/butane blends at best have 91,000 btu.#2 diesel 139,000 but and gasoline around 125,000btu per gallon.
At that rate $3.18LP costs $3.05 in gasoline.

LNG or CNG is used sometines on boats and RV's. It is preferable to propane which is heavier than air and will accumulate in lower areas to blow up when a spark appears. LNG or CNG is lighter than air and will rise when released. LNG or CNG is simply natural gas compressed and liquified and placed in a steel tank. Propane is produced as part of the oil refining process, compressed and placed in tanks. The two are completely different products that have just a few common properties. NUff said Henry
