Butane Prices Going Up
posted (January 16, 2014)
The price of LPG gas, or what we call "butane" is going up again - this time by five dollars.

The supplies control unit today announced that Central American Gas - which is less efficient - will sell for 121 dollars per hundred pound cylinder undelivered din the city.

And Mexican butane which is more efficient, will sell for 125 dollars.

The difference? Mexican LPG has 60% propane to 40% butane while the Central American version sold by BWEL, Southern Choice Gas, Zeta and Tomza is 90 percent propane and 10% butane, which is less efficient, but cheaper.
