What's Your Prediction????

Until the economy here and the rest of the world start to pick up. Gas and heating oil will not change much. That could be a long time.

I think prices will contunue to creep up and will not stay relatively low for long.

Heating oil got down to $1.51 in Jan! Propane stayed around $2.40. Do the math

And don't forget when you do the math that propane has 50% less heat per gal than oil.

I predict only a slightly moderate oil price increase.I think it is all tied to the economy and will remain relatively flat.I passed an oil delivery truck the other day and it had a sign reading $1.87 / gal on it.If it gets much lower,I'll mothball the Kaa2 and go back to the oil boiler.I think we will cruise along o.k. for a while yet on fuels.I think electric rates here in Penna will soon clobber us big time due to deregulation,no way around that.

Ok its six months later , what happened?

I think the price of oil has gone up but i dont know for sure since i have 10 ton of black gold heat!!

In my area since I'm right here and don't have to pay the extra shipping costs other fuels have never compared to coal. Oil and gas were approaching those figures at some points in time when they at the very lowest.

When you have coal it's like the old "Turtle and Hare" story. You may have times where it might not make sense but in the long run you always win. Fuel prices are wildly unpredictable except with coal, slow and steady as she goes.

I predict al gore and the liberals sooner or later are going to put the screwing to us coal burners.

I will not gloat about how much I am saving because the savings could vaporize somewhat. Maybe I am being paranoid but I feel theres a big black liberal weenie lurking in the shadows waiting to go up our arsh.
