And, Mike, if you wouldn't mind telling our listeners a little bit about PERC and what it is and the awesome service, seriously, that you guys offer to the industry.

30 seconds left.

Talk to me about propane prices quick.

Propane prices are on a tear.

The U.S. has started to export quite a bit more propane than they ever have before.

Asian buyers are stepping up right now.

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, that means they contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, and all the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds.

The general formula is CnH2n mice plus 2, so methane is CH4, ethane is C2H6, propane is C3H8, and so on.

They form a homologous series, meaning each successive member differs by a CH2 unit.

Now, the first major concept you need to nail is physical properties, specifically boiling points.

And for the life of me, I don't understand why everybody can't see what's in front of our faces, which is his value toward them winning.

Coming up, Michelle's power rankings brought to us by Propane.

Next, we're on Sportsman Like, presented by Progressive Insurance.

affected?Propane's a, a great fuel, and propane's in great supply.

We're exporting just incredible amounts of it all over the world, uh, and particularly to India.

So propane is, you know, I mean, if you had the ability to shift to propane, it might be a pretty good, uh, bet.
