Fall arrived earlier this week, and a state fuels analyst says Iowans who heat their homes with propane are going to be in good financial shape for the cold weather months that lie ahead. Harold Hommes, with the Iowa Department of Agriculture, says the price of propane continues to drop.
Prices in Iowa are now averaging 96-cents a gallon, down 40 to 50-cents from a year ago, though Hommes doubts the price will drop much further.
About 183,000 Iowans heat their homes with L-P. The current average of 96-cents a gallon statewide is a far cry from prices seen during January of 2014 when record high prices were hit above five-dollars a gallon.
