Propane costs much lower than last year but future price fluctuations seemingly imminent

NORTHWOODS - Propane prices hit the Northwoods hard last winter. Prices reached nearly six dollars a gallon. This year's been different, and most prices are below two dollars a gallon.

There's a lot more propane available this year, which is driving prices down. One reason for the surplus is because of the warmer temperatures this winter. So there isn't as much demand for propane. Market analysts thought propane use would be similar to last year.

Draeger Propane Manager Josh Schmoll says fuel also hasn't been exported as much this year.
