Cost of fuel

This is rediculous. Last week I found a slip of paper on our front door from the propane company. My heart sunk. We have a large propane tank burried in our yard to heat our water, fireplace, and what ever else. So we pay this bill like 2 times a year but I had a sneaky suspicion this bill would upset me. Sure enough, yesterday I saw the total. $968.00. Is your jaw on the floor like mine is? That's a freaking mortgage payment for some people! What is this world coming to? Needless to say, the cost of fuel doesn't just impact our cars but also our showers!!
