This happens allot.

This seems to happen allot here.
Not too many years ago, fuel companies were taking propane from businesses that where closed for the winter, to give to families because of a "shortage."
I thought of going to propane last year but acts like this make me stick with oil. I have yet to hear of oil being sucked out of closed business to give to families.

My Dad uses propane and I remember growing up propane being in short supply at times.
