If I could answer that question I wouldn’t have to work for a living.
I don’t see it as a whole lot better, to be frank. Do you?
But I’m not going to let media pee on my leg with $3 gas and tell me that’s a good thing. Thanks to the Obama economy, I now commute 110 miles to my job and can’t live in the same city as my family. And Democrat policies are at least partly responsible for that.
Bush was nobody’s conservative. But gas was cheaper, which was my only point.
Is propane still twice as expensive as last year?
Just got an alert from gas buddy. Price going up .10+ today.
From my perspective, a whole lot better. My job market was falling, home values were falling fast. Far better now.
The Spot Market for Propane is slightly down from the same time last year. Of course price varies by region.

propane is 2.99 a gallon.
I believe that the $93 a barrel price includes refining to a large degree, it is not thick black stuff just out of the ground.
When the price of oil is quoted, it is almost always in reference to the price traded at the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for West Texas Intermediate delivered to Cushing, Oklahoma.
This is “raw” crude oil but of a good quality at the largest commercial stock location. It has not been refined at all.

OK, I guess I am remembering the spike last winter.
I hope it stays there, I’m thinking of the massive spike last winter.
You know that was a regional demand and supply problem?
I thought it was because the cold midwest and farmers used twice as much. I’m in upstate NY and it doubled in price. So it seemed like excess demand in the Midwest caused prices nationally to spike?

It was more an issue of timing combined with pipeline and rail trouble.

Read through some of the comments as well, I linked other articles.
whoopee doo.
Would you prefer a trend of highest price since 2010?
What else do you buy regularly that has gone down or even stayed the same price in the same time frame?
thx, I’m hoping for some global warming to finally hit in the Winter.
