Oil...70$ a barrel & going higher

[Wood Doctor]

Keith said. "Did you know they blend propane?
Did you know you could have a 30% difference in the btus from one fill to another?"
---------------------
That's incredible. I knew there was some variance in propane fills but I never dreamed it would ever reach 30%. I can't imagine there hasn't been some legislation passed to control that.

We used to always figure 89,000 BTU/gal on the low end to 93,000 BTU/gal on the high end.

demand is down and supply is up... that's why prices are going up.
ya right supply and demand controls pricing.

Now you know why classical economics has suddenly become a joke.

Excellent analysis.

So is #2 oil. All oil comers through pipelines.
#1 then #2 then #3 and so on. The oil does not stop out of the line between the numbers.
So there can be some variences there too.

Especially when gasoline/jet A is added to the mix....#2 fuel oil is a lot better than it used to be tho, but not as good as when it was .75/gal.

You tellin' me I'm old???.....well, yes, double-nickel-age in two weeks. I've been in the trades for 37 yrs. or so.....I remember the first wood boilers/scorched air furnaces that I remember hitting the market in the 70's following the oil embargo. More like science projects, just as the first flame-retention oil burners were back then.

We stuck a few last night after a 3 hour onslaught of slab crappies.
Started out looing for eyes...there was this mayfly hatch and I noticed these slabs backs breaking water so we switched gears and had a blast then as the sun set we set up for walleyes.
I took home 4 and Kenny took 3 plus our limits of 11 inch eater slabs.
I release 3- 15"er's...man did they bend my ultra light rod!

It's a date...just say when.
