    1. WINTER STARTABILITY

      1. Engine gumming is the last thing cold drivers want to deal with. Propane starts up right - no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.

    1. SUSTAINABILITY

      1. Companies going green is a good look for business and for the environment. The combustion of Propane Autogas leads to a 30% reduction in emissions over diesel.

    By the time this update reaches you, we will have wrapped up the first month of our new fiscal year and will be under way with our external financial audit for the year completed on September 30. While unofficial, I can safely report that 2025 will be a solid year with slight increase in total sales and strong bottom line performance. I look forward to sharing the results and more with you next month.

    There may be a few holdouts, but I’m willing to guess that most of you have fired up your furnaces for the first time. My propane furnace is running like a top. My next task is to get rid of the multitude of mice who have decided to invade my old farmhouse. I’m willing to use every method at my disposal, up to and including a flamethrower.
