Propane: Anyone know current prices

[charlz]

2.26/gal here when I filled two weeks ago, it is a rental tank so they add .10/gal for 'insurance'

And I only have a 120 gallon tank, so I don't think I get the best price.

I dont own the tank. It was here When I purchased the house back in 2005. Only had enough to put 150 gallons in it at that time to get me through the 05-06 winter. Used almost all of it until I lowered the setting on my heatpump from 38 down to ~17 to conserve propane.

I Had it filled that summer of 2006. No mention whatsoever about a tank lease or anything. I have also NEVER gotten a bill for a yearly lease in the mail:confused2: So I was thinking there was a possibility that the tank was not leased??

I called earler this summer just to inquire. They said it IS a leased tank, but again, no mention about oweing any money for a lease?? So we shall see when I get it filled.

Maybe, Just maybe they dont charge a lease? Maybe they make their money on the sales of propane itself?? Sound possible or do you all think I am in for a rude awakening???

IF it comes down to me owing a lease, I will probabally just buy a tank and tell them to come and pick theirs up. Or I will consider metered propane from the local electric company as an option. But hopefully, I just have to pay for propane and thats it:thumbsup:

I also forgot to mention (and I never new this) but my propane company....central ohio farmers coop...gives the current price on their website. Currently it is @ 2.159/gal:thumbsup: Central Ohio Farmers Co-op

I paid $2.13/gal last week.. Does anybody else do the prepay thing. I usually try and go to my dealer in the August time frame and pre-purchase about 900 gal when the price is low.

I dont pre-pay because I dont use much.

Where are you located at that you got that 2.13 price?

$2.13 /Gal ! I should load my 100Gal/420# tank in the truck and bring it over! My last fill up was $4.99 /Gal !!! Plus I get to pay them $30 bucks a year to store their tank ! I called and got the price down a bit, guess if I used more I would get a lower rate,I only have the stove on it. Thought about a tankless hot water heater but not too impressed with the LP price here !

This is my first year as I just got a 120 gal tank about a month ago. I did the pre-pay and bought 250 gallons for the season. We'll see how that goes. If you don't use it all then they cash you out in the Spring, so I figure you can't lose by doing it. And if the price goes down this winter (NOT likely), they will honor the lower price. Sounds like a win-win. :thumbsup:

As I said in my earlier post, I paid $2.10/gallon cash price last week. My buddy dropped by for a visit today. He works for a propane company that is currently charging about $3.00/gallon. My buddy's full time job is picking up leased tanks from customers who are looking for better deals on their gas. I asked him if he sees a lot of pi$$ed off people. He said, "Oh man, you have no idea!" He tells them he agrees with them and that he is a local guy doing a job and it is the folks out East that are running the company into the ground with their pricing and treatment of customers. He doesn't even buy his own gas from his employer.

I'm located in central Indiana. Up until last year I was with one of the nations largest supplier till I started to shop around and found that they were the most expensive in my area. What I hate is they all do the huge discount price to get you to switch and then jack it up on the next fill up. Reminds me of a drug dealer.
