Propane prices in your area

I was just told by a friend that home delivered propane was $3.84/gallon. Anyone else bought any recently?

I always lock in pre -season; don't like surprises -up or down (very rarely down though during the winter).

Average spot price in NY now is about $3.30 per the NYS energy board.

locked in pre-season at $1.75. I own my tanks though.

Purchased mine 27 years ago. Gives me the ability to shop around too.

I ordered propane yesterday, fill up for a 1000 gallon tank. Tank @ 30%. From Southhall Gas in Centerville PA. $2.39 per gallon

It will vary a lot depending on geographical area and on the supplier. Prices in my local area range from $2.75 to $4 per gallon.

If you own your tank then shop around. If you rent then probably no other company will fill your tank. Some companies have programs where you sign up for a year and they give you a fixed price for that period. Often that ends up being cheaper over all than getting it at the current rate every time but in the summer you might be paying a higher price than the current spot rate.

There are also propane users groups that negotiate a lower rate with companies who are willing to go along. Check to see if there's one in your area.

I started a thread about this, just a bit ago. LP prices?

Maybe a mod can/should combine them?

Comment on owning your own propane tank. As I was told if you have a ASTM certified tank that is sufficient for owning your own propane tank. If you have a DOT certified tank then there are inspections that are required at intervals. This is for PA/ Gov laws/ regulations.

No annual inspections of tanks required by NYS.

I purchased my tanks in 2008 from the company that supplied the propane to them for a few years.

my guess is that, if you switch suppliers, the new supplier will inspect the tanks first though before filling them.
