      For the fiscal 2009 second quarter, Star reported a 21.8 percent
      decrease in total revenues to $520.5 million, compared to total revenues
      of $665.3 million in the year-ago period, due largely to a decline in
      home heating oil selling prices. Selling prices declined in response to
      a decrease in wholesale product cost.
    </p>
    <p>
      Home heating oil volume for the fiscal 2009 second quarter increased 6.5
      million gallons, to 175.9 million gallons, as the impact of colder
      temperatures more than offset the volume lost through conservation and
      net customer attrition. Temperatures in Star&#8217;s geographic areas of
      operations for the fiscal 2009 second quarter were 9.5 percent colder
      than the fiscal 2008 second quarter and approximated normal.
    </p>
    <p>
      During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, operating income
      increased $61.7 million to $110.9 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Partnership reported net income of $108.7 million, a $67.1 million
      increase versus the fiscal 2008 second quarter, largely due to a
      favorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments of $44.1
      million, higher product gross profit of $25.5 million and a $6.2 million
      gain recorded on the repurchase of the Partnership&#8217;s Senior Notes. These
      increases were reduced by higher net service and operating costs
      (including depreciation and amortization) of $7.8 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      Adjusted EBITDA increased $16.9 million to $74.7 million, as compared to
      $57.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
      Principles) financial measures which are explained below in greater
      detail under &#8220;EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP Financial Measures).&#8221;
      Please refer to the Supplemental Information included in this news
      release for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to
      their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and
      six months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Star Gas Partners Chief Executive Officer, Dan Donovan, stated, &#8220;We had
      a strong winter heating season and we benefited from a return to normal
      temperatures. Our employees rose to the occasion and executed at all
      levels during this challenging period, especially given the tremendous
      volatility in heating oil pricing during the first half of the fiscal
      year.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      For the six months ended March 31, 2009, Star reported a 17.5 percent
      decrease in total revenues to $923.4 million, compared to total revenues
      of $1.1 billion in the year-ago period, primarily due to a decline in
      home heating oil selling prices.

      Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2009 rose $24.3 million to
      $103.5 million and net income increased $34.0 million to $100.7 million.
      These increases were largely due to an increase in product gross profit
      of $48.4 million, reduced by higher net service and operating expenses
      (including depreciation and amortization) of $13.6 million and an
      unfavorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments of $10.5
      million. In addition, net income for the first half also benefited from
      a $9.7 million gain on the repurchase of $36.3 million of the
      Partnership&#8217;s Senior Notes.
    </p>
    <p>
      Adjusted EBITDA increased $33.1 million to $110.2 million for the six
      months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $77.1 million for the six
      months ended March 31, 2008.

    <p>
      <b>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      EBITDA (Earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense,
      income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA are
      non-GAAP financial measures that are used as supplemental financial
      measures by management and external users of our financial statements,
      such as investors, commercial banks and research analysts, to assess:
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8226; our compliance with certain financial covenants included in our debt
      agreements;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8226; our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital
      structure, income taxes or historical cost basis;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8226; our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our
      indebtedness and to make distributions to our partners;
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8226; our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared
      to those of other companies in the retail distribution of refined
      petroleum products business, without regard to financing methods and
      capital structure; and
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8226; the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the
      overall rates of return of alternative investment opportunities.
    </p>
    <p>
      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, gain
      or 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. Both the
      Partnership&#8217;s 10.25% Senior Note agreement and its bank credit facility
      contain covenants that restrict equity distributions, acquisitions, and
      the amount of debt it can incur. Under the most restrictive of these
      covenants, which is found in the bank credit facility, the agent bank
      could step in and control all cash transactions for the Partnership if
      we failed to comply with the minimum availability or the fixed charge
      coverage ratio. The Partnership is required to maintain either
      availability (borrowing base less amounts borrowed and letters of credit
      issued) of $25.0 million or a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0
      (Adjusted EBITDA being a significant component of this calculation).
      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.

      Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical
      tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
      for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the
      limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash used for capital
        expenditures;
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
        assets being depreciated or amortized often will have to be replaced
        and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements
        for such replacements;
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash
        requirements for, our working capital requirements;
      </li>
      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash necessary to make
        payments of interest or principal on our indebtedness; and

      <li style="margin-bottom: 10.0px">
