If we look at demand in more detail, we can see that propane demand has shown steady growth throughout most of the 1990’s, rising about 300 MB/D, up more than 36 percent since 1990.

During this decade, propane demand on an annual basis has declined only twice, in 1993 and 1998.

Demand is higher in 1999 due to higher petrochemical demand and a strong economy.

We are also seeing strong demand in the first quarter of 2000; however, as the economy slows down so may petrochemical demand.
