Topic | Kerosene |
Content | For some reason Kerosene is considered a solvent in this state.
It is used extensively in other states as a heating fuel.
During this past ice storm I went searching for this fuel to no avail.
I was told that one of the Hardware Stores had it, but sold it all.
It was $35.00 per 5 gal. can, and you got to keep the can. $7.00 per gal.
I found 1 gas station @ Westminster & E. Reno that had it in the ground, but couldn't pump because the electric was out.
It was $4.65 per gal. that way. This is outrageous.
He told me he had to get it from Coffeeville Kan.
Ridiculous!
"Kerosene needs to be labeled as a heating fuel", as other states do.
What do they charge for heating fuel in N.Y.C.?
I bet it isn't $4.65 or $7.00 per gallon.
"Many folks are using it for emergencys", or everyone would not be sold out.
And 5 gallons cans were not to be found either.
How it got this way, I don't know. Money is my guess.
But it does need to be changed back to a heating fuel in Ok. like other states.
Thank You,
