Prices of the heating fuel are down a whopping 27% so far this year as forecasts called for mostly warmer-than-normal winter weather in key regions across the U.S. Based on data from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, this year’s extremely warm winter has pushed heating demand for natural gas to nearly 20% below average.About half of U.S. homes use natural gas for heating. Without significant demand for natural gas, inventories could stay near record levels and may even continue to pull prices even lower.
