All Star Gas Corporation extended until May 26, 2000 its offer to
purchase all $127,200,000 of its 12 7/8% senior secured notes due 2004 and the
consent solicitation to the amendment of the indenture governing the notes. The
aggregate consideration for the purchase and consent is $100,000,000, or $786

Approximately $91,135,000 of the notes have been tendered. Consummation of the
offer is subject to several conditions including the amendment of the indenture
governing the notes and closing of the sale of certain of the Company's assets.
No assurance can be given that the transaction will be completed as proposed.
