YOUCHHH! Something has to give on the fuel costs!
I know we are all struggling with the gasoline prices, heating oil and propane are out of control as we all well know.
The first time I filled my propane tank around Thanksgiving it was about $700. Then in January I had a stroke when it cost $1200 to fill the tank. And if I thought that was "bad" I should have called the undertaker then!
Today we called to get a 1/2 a tank 250 gallons>>>>$987!!!
How does Washington think Americans are paying these energy costs? I've paid out $3000 for heating in 5 months. We used to do it for $1200 a year.
This summer, I guess I am going to need to seriously look into removing my propane fireplace and installing a coal stove in its place.
Thank YOU MOTHER NATURE for bringing SPRING!
But, for many I fear it may be too late. They have has to choose between gas to go to work, fuel to heat or creditors to pay.
I am starting to think that Washington just "Doesn't GET IT". ANY OF THE PARTIES.
We need to get someone in Washington to figure out a way to get relief to the people. And now I see they are calling for $4 a gallon gas by June....
