The big break will come for those reliant on natural gas for heat.
The government says families using natural gas should expect to pay an average of 119 dollars less during the upcoming winter compared to last year. That's a drop of 13 percent.
For those using fuel oil, the average will rise 91 dollars, an increase of six percent.
Propane users should expect to be 15 dollars less, a decline of one percent.
Natural gas is the most widely used source of fuel for residential heating in the nation, especially in the Midwest. Fuel oil is used heavily in the Northeast. © Copyright 2012, Associated Press
