Schwan's Avoids Pinch at Pump With Propane

For the past two weeks gas prices have gone down, but what about next week and the week after that. Amid America's current gas crisis, Schwans Home Food Delivery Company has found a way around high-priced fuel and they've been doing it since the 70's!

"Remember the gas shortage and the fuel crisis in the seventies? As a company that was based on getting to folk's front doors, the company was looking for a way to make sure it was survivable," says Matt McCline, Schwan's spokesman.
