TopicKerosene
ContentFor 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, H.Lee Hubbard
