Wholesale prices? That is the price charged to us as via the buying group. There are many such groups available,including the Our Town Energy Alliance (OTEA) that is available to anybody that joins the group. Why would anybody pay the off the truck full retail when such discounts are common. Natural gas - certainly its availability is more limited, but there are areas in the Lakes region with NG. It is in the energy cost table linked to so worth mentioning. My point is that the claim that propane is more expensive than oil is not necessarily the case. Also, when I converted to propane in 2009 one consideration for me was the volatility of prices - propane seemed to be more stable than oil
