Why won't Michael Maura open up the docks on Saturday? it is bizarre that Customs are there from 8-12, but what use is that if we can't get our goods out?
John, you are very wrong thinking that a 100lb refill should be less than $50. That would take out every gas company in the country in red ink.
You are forgetting John, that LPG has to be delivered. For that the gas company needs a fleet of trucks, drivers, insurance premiums, maintenance etc. The volumes for the LPG market are minuscule compared to the gasoline and diesel amounts. A typical house orders gas just 4 times a year. You go fill up your car once a week right? and you pick it up yourself.
The selling price in Nassau of $100 for a 100lb has been like that for about 6 1/2 years. In that time, Govt has doubled the excise tax on propane. Cost of doing business has steadily risen also. Namely freight rates and insurance premiums.
I think BEC is your real problem, where hundreds of dollars are in question every month on your bill. The LPG companies all work hard every day to get your gas delivered that same day. No company is getting rich believe me.
