Propane Prices

That is a great price... South Lake Tahoe was double that last I checked.

 

[K man]

Just topped mine here in Canada for .49 a liter so that is around 2.02 a gallon +tax works out to 2.26 a gallon still a rip off lol

Hmmm ..... I filled our two tanks at the end of September (741 gallons total) and they only charged me $1.09/gal. Our prices for everything are normally above the national average. I wonder if they made a mistake??

Summer fill was $1 per gallon here and now 1.09 per gallon.

The summer contract was $1.18 a gallon here in Minnesota.

Just had our tank filled this week. $1.16 a gallon + the regulator on the tank was 15 years old so another $80 to replace that.

What would be good, but I haven't found it, is a graphic depiction (map) showing prices in various areas of the country. Transportation costs justifiably affect pricing, so it seems reasonable their will be variations based on that alone.

One thing for sure though, at least in our area, if you don't own your own tank and instead "rent it" from a propane company, they are the only ones that can legally service that tank. They know that, and you will pay dearly under that artificial lack of competition. On average, I spend a dollar a gallon less than my neighbors.

That looks to be a very good price compared to the $2 national average. Course some are getting hosed with prices over $3.

Wholesale spot price in TX is down about 5% currently at $
.50 per gallon.

What are the prices looking like now? I just got a price from Suburban Propane in Ohio, $2.69 (approx. 250 gallons) for a current customer.

Look for a different supplier. I had Suburban and they will charge whatever they can get away with. I switched to Superior Plus Energy and they are a lot cheaper and don't charge for the tank rental if you use a tank full every year.
