Gas prices go up too

Gas prices track oil prices pretty closely long term although you will
get high spot prices on gas in winter when the Transco pipeline network
is struggling to move gas from importation points to the demand points
(generally the large industrial users and gas fired power stations).

Then again, because the new pipeline to Norway is being commissioned at
the moment there is an excess of gas in the system so the traders are
frantically dumping (ie giving the stuff away) to avoid system
imbalance charges.

I heard on t'radio today that it's so cheap you can't give it away today

I'm going to stock up on balloons for the winter
