      Partners, L.P. Reports Fiscal 2008 Third Quarter Results</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Star Gas Partners, L.P. (the
      &#8220;Partnership&#8221; or &#8220;Star&#8221;) (NYSE: SGU), a home energy distributor and
      services provider specializing in heating oil, today announced financial
      results for its fiscal 2008 third quarter and the nine-month period
      ended June 30, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to three months ended June
      30, 2007</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Partnership reported a 16.0 percent increase in total revenue to
      $258.1 million, as an increase in home heating oil selling prices was
      reduced by a decline in home heating oil volume. Home heating oil volume
      declined to 46.0 million gallons, as the additional volume provided by
      acquisitions was more than offset by the effects of warmer temperatures,
      net customer attrition, conservation and other factors.
    </p>
    <p>
      Home heating oil per gallon margins increased despite product costs
      reaching new highs on 18 occasions during the third quarter of fiscal
      2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating income increased by $20.2 million to $13.8 million, as a
      favorable change in the fair value of derivatives of $25.2 million was
      reduced by lower product gross profit of $3.8 million and higher
      operating costs (including depreciation, amortization and net service)
      of $1.2 million. While operating expenses increased due to an increase
      in the reserve for doubtful accounts ($3.0 million) and the additional
      expenses attributable to stand alone acquisitions ($2.2 million), the
      Partnership was able to reduce certain operating costs in response to
      the decline in home heating oil volume.

      The Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by $5.5 million to $9.5 million, as
      the impact of higher per gallon margins and an improvement in service
      profitability were more than offset by an increase in the bad debt
      reserve, warmer temperatures and conservation efforts by our customers.
      Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure (see below
      reconciliation) that should not be considered as an alternative to net
      income (as an indicator of operating performance) or as an alternative
      to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to service debt
      obligations), but provides additional information for evaluating the
      Partnership&#8217;s ability to make the Minimum Quarterly Distribution. The
      Partnership is not required to pay the Minimum Quarterly Distribution
      until February 2009, for the quarter ending December 31, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Star Gas Partners Chief Executive Officer, Daniel P. Donovan, stated,
      &#8220;The extreme volatility in home heating oil prices continued through the
      third quarter and we hit record price levels 47 times through July 31,
      2008. Prices have increased by almost $2.00 per gallon versus last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Predictably, high prices have resulted in more price sensitivity among
      our customer base. In addition to seeking ways to conserve, more
      customers are open to, or are actively seeking, low price offers from
      our competition. We are fighting to retain this business while conscious
      of the need to improve cents-per-gallon gross profit margins as we
      prepare for the winter heating season. Margin management is crucial
      since a large portion of our operating costs, necessary to profitably
      serve our customers, are of a fixed nature. We must also ensure proper
      margins to pay for fuel for our fleet, pay interest on increased working
      capital requirements and to cover the bad debt expense expected with
      increased sales levels.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We have been focusing our off-season efforts on seeking and making
      sound acquisitions, planning and executing marketing and operating
      strategies to maximize profitable growth, effectively managing customer
      communications and requests for the coming heating season and continuing
      to improve the various services that we offer to our valued consumers.
      We are maintaining our discipline in acquisition evaluations, in new
      account credit decisions, in margin management and in an ongoing effort
      to both collect receivables and retain existing customers.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;With heating oil prices where they are today, we enter the upcoming
      heating season with a solid balance sheet and ample liquidity &#8211; a key
      advantage given the tight credit environment. Our goal is to continue to
      manage our business effectively through this challenging environment and
      thus demonstrate that the resumption of quarterly distributions in
      February of 2009 is warranted,&#8221; concluded Mr. Donovan.

    </p>
    <p>
      The Partnership reported a 21.9 percent increase in total revenue to
      $1.4 billion, as an increase in home heating oil selling prices was
      reduced by a decrease in home heating oil volume. Home heating oil
      volume decreased to 328.5 million gallons, as the additional volume
      provided by acquisitions was more than offset by the effects of net
      customer attrition, conservation, slightly warmer temperatures and other
      factors.
    </p>
    <p>
      During the nine months ended June 30, 2007, the Partnership recorded a
      benefit of $4.3 million under its weather insurance contract. The
      Partnership did not record any benefit under its weather insurance
      contract in fiscal 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating income increased by $7.9 million to $93.0 million, as a
      favorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments of $29.0
      million was reduced by an increase in total operating expenses
      (including depreciation, amortization and net service) of $5.7 million
      and a reduction in product gross profit of $15.4 million. Operating
      expenses rose largely due to a $5.0 million increase in the reserve for
      doubtful accounts, the additional expenses associated with stand-alone
      acquisitions and lower weather insurance benefits.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income increased by $7.2 million to $78.5 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $22.4 million to $67.6 million, as the
      additional EBITDA provided from acquisitions and slightly higher home
      heating oil margins was more than offset by the impacts of the decline
      in home heating oil volume, lower weather insurance benefits and an
      increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts.

          The Partnership uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as measures of
          liquidity and they are being included because the Partnership
          believes that they provide investors and industry analysts with
          additional information to evaluate the Partnership's ability to pay
          quarterly distributions. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not
          recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles
          (&quot;GAAP&quot;) and should not be considered as an alternative to net
          income/(loss) or net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities
          determined in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and adjusted
          EBITDA as determined by the Partnership excludes some, but not all
          of the items that affect net income/(loss), it may not be comparable
          to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by
          other companies. The following tables set forth (i) the calculation
          of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (ii) a reconciliation of EBITDA
          and adjusted EBITDA, as so calculated, to cash provided by/(used in)
          operating activities.

      (a) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings from continuing operations
      before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
      amortization, (increase) decrease in the fair value of derivatives, loss
      on debt redemption, goodwill impairment, and other non-cash and
      non-operating charges. Management believes the presentation of this
      measure is relevant and useful because it allows investors to view the
      Partnership&#8217;s performance in a manner similar to the method management
      uses, and makes it easier to compare its results with other companies
      that have different financing and capital structures. In addition, this
      measure is consistent with the manner in which the Partnership&#8217;s debt
      covenants in its material debt agreements are calculated and investors
      measure its overall performance and liquidity, including its ability to
      pay quarterly equity distributions, service its long-term debt and other
      fixed obligations and fund its capital expenditures and working capital
      requirements. This method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be
      consistent with that of other companies and should be viewed in
      conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP.

          The Partnership uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as measures of
          liquidity and they are being included because the Partnership
          believes that they provide investors and industry analysts with
          additional information to evaluate the Partnership's ability to pay
          quarterly distributions. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not
          recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles
          (&quot;GAAP&quot;) and should not be considered as an alternative to net
          income/(loss) or net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities
          determined in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and adjusted
          EBITDA as determined by the Partnership excludes some, but not all
          of the items that affect net income/(loss), it may not be comparable
          to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures used by
          other companies. The following tables set forth (i) the calculation
          of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and (ii) a reconciliation of EBITDA
          and adjusted EBITDA, as so calculated, to cash provided by/(used in)
          operating activities.

      (a) Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings from continuing operations
      before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
      amortization, (increase) decrease in the fair value of derivatives, loss
      on debt redemption, goodwill impairment, and other non-cash and
      non-operating charges. Management believes the presentation of this
      measure is relevant and useful because it allows investors to view the
      Partnership&#8217;s performance in a manner similar to the method management
      uses, and makes it easier to compare its results with other companies
      that have different financing and capital structures. In addition, this
      measure is consistent with the manner in which the Partnership&#8217;s debt
      covenants in its material debt agreements are calculated and investors
      measure its overall performance and liquidity, including its ability to
      pay quarterly equity distributions, service its long-term debt and other
      fixed obligations and fund its capital expenditures and working capital
      requirements. This method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be
      consistent with that of other companies and should be viewed in
      conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP.
