Propane Costs Creep Up Costing Rural Oklahoma Families More to Stay Warm

Corey Coyle-Wikimedia

It is going to cost more this winter to heat rural Oklahoma homes. The price of propane is following oil prices and slowly inching up.

The price of a gallon of propane is just over $2 today. That is up 50-cents a gallon from this time last year. The good news is, unlike several years ago, there is plenty of propane.

The industry says the best advice is to keep your tank full.  Prices are expected to go up as the winter gets colder.
