Time to Buy Propane

      Is your tank a little low, Bunkie?   Feeling a chill coming on?   Now's the time to fill 'er up.  Call your local source for propane and order up a load.  Go big time: 500 gallons, at least.   The wholesale price, not futures price, has reached 0.63 cents a gallon, less than half what it was a year ago.  To say there's a softening is to say little.
     Locals usually have been prudent and filled up in November or earlier; but you few laggards may have an opportunity to negotiate some good rates.   Given that energy prices are expected to continue to fall, propane suppliers must look ahead: money today will be better than money next year.
   Buy now-save money.  Tahomans are thinking that this could be a normal winter: good business, lots of ski tourists taking advantage of cheap gasoline which will lower their weekends transportation costs dramatically.   Wheeeee, hit the slopes.
Happy Holidays are here again.
