<html><head><title>Star Gas Partners, L.P. Reports Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Results</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Star Gas Partners, L.P. Reports Fiscal 2014 First Quarter Results</h3><p>STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Gas Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership" or "Star") (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider specializing in heating oil, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 first quarter, the three-month period ended December 31, 2013.</p><p>
	For the fiscal 2014 first quarter Star reported a slight increase in total revenue to $520.6 million, compared with revenue of $516.5 million in the prior-year period, as an increase in home heating oil and propane volume was somewhat reduced by lower home heating oil and propane selling prices, lower sales of other petroleum products, and a decrease in installation and service revenue. During the three months ended December 31, 2012 (the prior-year period), sales of other petroleum products, primarily motor fuels, and service and installation sales were favorably impacted by an increase in demand for these products resulting from the storm known as "Sandy."</p><p>
	Home heating oil and propane volume for the fiscal 2014 first quarter increased by 6.6 million gallons, or 6.8 percent, to 103.7 million gallons, as the impact of colder temperatures, the additional volume provided by acquisitions, and a return to more normal consumption patterns for customers impacted by Sandy during the prior year's comparable period more than offset the impact of net customer attrition and other factors affecting volume. Temperatures in Star's geographic areas of operation for the fiscal 2014 first quarter were 5.5 percent colder than during the fiscal 2013 first quarter but 1.9 percent warmer than normal, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.</p><p>
	During the fiscal 2014 first quarter, net income rose to $19.3 million, an increase of $9.5 million, due largely to a favorable change in the fair value of derivative instruments of $13.4 million.</p><p>
	Adjusted EBITDA increased to $35.8 million, up $4.9 million, as the impact of an increase in home heating oil and propane volume and higher home heating oil and propane per gallon margins more than offset the decline in net service profitability and lower gross profit from other petroleum products. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership's home heating oil and propane volume was negatively impacted by Sandy, while net service and installation gross profit and gross profit from sales of other petroleum products was positively impacted.</p><p>
	"The first quarter of fiscal 2014 was a welcome return to more typical winter weather conditions than recent years, and Star Gas performed to our normal high expectations," said Steven J. Goldman, Star Gas Partners' Chief Executive Officer. "We expanded margins and saw net gains in our customer base, testament to both our marketing efforts and reputation for high quality service. We were also well prepared for the recent colder weather, including the polar vortex, that hit in the second fiscal quarter.</p><p>
	"In January we announced the execution of an agreement to acquire Griffith Energy Services, a great addition to Star, and restated and amended our credit facility with the same fifteen institutions that previously participated &#8211; increasing the facility by $100 million, to $450 million in season, and extending the maturity date. This gives the Partnership greater flexibility for working capital needs as we look to strengthen our footprint and expand our product portfolio. As always, we remain focused on taking the necessary steps to grow the company and increase long-term shareholder returns."</p><p>
	<strong>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)</strong></p><p>
	EBITDA (Earnings from continuing operations before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA (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) 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><ul>
	<li>
		our compliance with certain financial covenants included in our debt agreements;</li>
	<li>
		our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or historical cost basis;</li>
	<li>
		our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness and to make distributions to our partners;</li>
	<li>
		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</li>
	<li>
		the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return of alternative investment opportunities.</li>
</ul><p>
	The method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may not be consistent with that of other companies and each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool, should not be considered in isolation and should be viewed in conjunction with measurements that are computed in accordance with GAAP. &#160;Some of the limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are:</p><ul>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash used for capital expenditures;</li>
	<li>
		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>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;</li>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash necessary to make payments of interest or principal on our indebtedness; and</li>
	<li>
		EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash required to pay taxes.</li>
</ul><p>
