Propane is one of the country’s most commonly used fuel sources, and whether you use it to heat your home or business or as backup power, its fluctuating cost is always a concern. Low Price Gas provides Bulverde, TX, residents with the most affordable prices in the area. When it’s time to refill your tank, you have to decide whether it will be best to pre-buy a year’s supply or to follow the prices and buy as you go. There is no right or wrong answer, but Low Price Gas is here to help you make your decision.

Consider these facts about propane prices to avoid paying too much:

• Study The Market: Oil prices fluctuate depending on current supply and demand, and predicting future prices is impossible. Heating your home is a necessary expense, but it’s an expense all the same. You need to know that you’re getting the best deal possible, and that may mean buying in bulk when the prices are low. As your supply dwindles, keep track of prices and market patterns to determine when to buy again.
• Benefits Of Pre-Buying: If prices are low, it may be in your best interest to buy enough to last you the entire year or even longer. By buying more than 200 gallons at a time, you won’t have to worry about refilling your tank for many months to come. The larger your tank, the more you’ll benefit from pre-buying, and some propane services offer discounts for large orders.
• Spot Market Prices: If you have a small tank or prices are high at the time you need a refill, you may be forced to pay market prices. This means you run the risk of prices increasing even more, but they may also decrease. If your tank is empty but prices are high, it’s recommended that you buy only what you need and hope the prices lower in the near future. Pay attention to the market so when prices drop, you’re ready to buy.
