Propane Prices

[bdeboer]

The place I get from has their prices listed on their site. Right now its $1.46

Central Ohio Farmers Co-op

I just got a flier in the mail from them offering 1.29 for summer fillup and 1.59 lockin price for the season. Might have to burn propane instead of wood this winner vs. 2.19/gallon last winter.

Wow, they just dropped their prices since my last post. With electric rates rising and propane comming down again, I think I'll have to up the temp on when my heat pump kicks on. I currently have it @ 20 degrees, which was perfect when propane was ~$2/gal and my electric rates were 8-9 cents. Now electric rates are closer to 12 3 or so years ago, when electric rates were low and propane was high, propane wasnt much better than straight electric resistance heat. Now propane is less than half the cost vs electric:thumbsup:

I checked prices with a different supplier at a rental when the renters moved out about month ago and it seemed like they were still in the $2 range. The tank was only down about 17% from their move -in on a 250 gallon tank so it wasn't a huge amount to deduct .

Any more prices out there?

$1.35 here off the truck a bit cheaper to pre-pay.

I said I wasn't going to sign the fixed price contract since I signed one last year @ $2.09 and propane promptly went down to $1.65 and I paid the 2.09 all winter. I figure @ this price will save me $74 a 100 g so why not I did it @ $1.35 for 1000 g.

Filled up on 6/7/12 - total was $218.32 (this includes fuel recovery fee and HAZMAT fee) for 59.4gallons so about $3.675 per gallon here in Western PA.

Pretty much in line with what I paid earlier this month. A couple years ago we shopped around for a different supplier...one came out to inspect and found a half dozen or so "code violations" that would need to be "corrected" before they'd take us on. Funny, our current supplier doesn't seem to have a problem with any of those items.
As someone else noted, most if not all the companies around here use their own tanks, and are kind of snippy about customer-owned ones, so unlike oil, changing propane suppliers is a major hassle.

OTOH, we use <150g/yr (just stove & HW heater), so there's no quantity discount.
