I'm hoping to burn off the last 400 gallons in my 1,000 gallon tank so I can put a new seal on the gauge. It has a really slow leak I've been wanting to fix for a couple of years. I only burned 200 gallons last year. Lat time I filled just over 3 years ago the summer fill price was $1.35.

We are still getting gouged at. Here I thought at .49 a litre was a good deal but then that adds up to 2.24 gallon.

We would go through $800 each year at the cabin...
Two years ago a bear damaged the line at tank and we lost contents...
Propane company charged to repair and fill... and padlocked our tank so we couldn't turn it on without safety inspection.
I turned it on and asked the company to come and get their lock... they broke valve and had to replace on their dime... we own the tank.
So for the first time in since 1964 we had the gas shut off all winter and didn't use any propane...
That bear might be saving us a bundle going forward... simple enough for me to turn on and light pilots when occupied... that 400+ gallons might last for many years...
Last time fill was $3.89 gallon with taxes, hazmat, etc...
Always had a phone at the cabin, my grandmother insisted so she could reach us... folks would never give it up as lines were limited so giving one up could mean years if you wanted one... and it was a huge deal to get one 50 years ago!
In 6 years less than a dozen outgoing calls... yet fees and charges run about $400 annually... all the kids have cells... Mom doesn't and does not want one.
Old wall rotary dial also from 1964

I no longer use propane but used to start shopping around for fill up in July/August. Got the better prices. Winter time usually saw a 50% increase in cost.

Boy, those propane companies are making a TON of money this winter.. Propane spot price is about 33 cents per gallon. Sure there is processing, and storage, and delivery.. BUT $1.00 a gallon would be a killing. This is not like a couple of years ago when the spot price was over $1.50 per gallon Sooo. the spot price is 1/5 of what it was.
