Skyrocketing demand for propane has people struggling financially.
"I don't make a lot of money, so I don't know how we are going to pay for it," said Jayme Williams, who paid $3.85 a gallon on Monday.
She purchased 150 gallons of propane on Monday, with hopes that it will heat her home for at least 30 days.
On December 31, Williams tells News 9 she paid $2.05 a gallon.
"It's going to be difficult. We'll have to cut back elsewhere," said Williams, an Okarche resident.
News 9 did some price checking Monday and was quoted as high as $4.35 a gallon. Propane companies tell News 9 a distribution problem has led to a propane shortage.
Twenty four states have declared a "State of Emergency" due to the shortage. That includes Oklahoma.
The declaration loosens transportation rules so out-of-state truckers can drive longer hours to make deliveries.
