Does Auto LPG Price Reduce in Summer? - Team-BHP

someshb · 23rd January 2008, 14:53

Guys, I heard from one of my friend who thinks Auto LPG price will reduce in Summer and increase in winter. Since many in BHP family will be owning LPG fitted cars for over a year, probably they can answer this question for me, thanks in advance.

Crazy question!

I wanted to move it to technical section first thinking you were taking some technical angle to the whole thingto argue a case... Not so sure anymore.

So whats the logic?

YES! And it had been discussed earlier too

From what I see - there are only signs of it going up.

All other things being equal, LPG price will see a seasonal variation (winter=higher demand=higher price). However, if the crude prices continue to go up, the reduction in demand need not necessarily bring about a reduction in LPG prices

Let me put it this way :" The rise in LPG price will be lesser in summer than in winter"

However, i guess we will see some , if not significant dip in Auto LPG Price by April.

Dunno, the Auto LPG prices are quite high right now. I hope they go down though. Although with the current fuel price trends worldwide even though we indians are over charged for our fuel, prices look like they would go up in the summer.

Guys,

Is there any technical reason (even speculative)?

Or is this thread talking about deman/supply and/or politics???

During winter, LPG is used for heating and hence a higher demand and so higher prices! While we can expect it to come down during summer, but still questionable at current crude prices!
