So..guess it doesn't really pay to try to conserve our natural resourses when it comes to your pocketbook ??!!

We only use our gas for cooking and hot water, we heat 98% with wood, balance electric. we buy propane about 200 gal, give or take a few gal, at a time once a year This enables us to get the cheapest home delivery price, kinda wish i had a 1000 gal tank, so's i could purchase years in advance..:-)
