Like brokenknee, if I lock in the price goes down and when I don't contract the price goes WAY up. I contracted this year so the price will go down. Just a note, the farmer's in the midwest are having perfect weather for harvest so they won't be using up the propane to dry down the crops like they did last year. That along with the lousy economy should mean prices go down, too. Maybe the winter weather will be the biggest factor, who knows.
Propane prices in your area?

Propane is a by-product and produced at about the same rate all year long. When the weather turns cold stocks start to go down and prices go up. It won't go down for December but it might not be the peak yet. So I guess the question would be the timing of your next fill.. would it hit before summer when prices are low again?
This is a good page to see the general supply/price cycles:

I changed suppliers because they wanted $2.55 back in August. The people I went with sold be 1000 gal at $1.55. The old supplier called last week and left a message that they had an "Introductory" offer of $2.14.
The old supplier still has their tank sitting next to my driveway. Been over two months. I'm tempted to paint it and put on Craig List. Or send them a bill for storage.
