Propane Prices

[farmeratheart]

Hey Oaktree- we are in the same boat as you. Since we use wood as our primary heat source the propane furnace only runs if it is extremely cold or we are away from home for a couple of days. We cook and heat hot water with it too. Our annual usage is around 150 gal so a volume discount is out of the question. I've been calling our supplier every couple of weeks for the last couple of months and our delivery price has remained steady at $3.19 per gal. Today, however, they offered me a "pre-buy" of 150 gal @ $2.29 per ... I have until next April 30th to take delivery of that gas at that price so I'm pretty happy.

The folks in the office said that they aren't allowed to advertise the price available, but when existing customers call in they are glad to supply the information. They all get pretty tired of passing along bad news (price increases) to customers and delight in having pleasant conversations with happy people. You might try calling your local supplier and inquiring about something similar?

Good luck.

Just paid $1.50 in western Kentucky. The prices here vary a lot. One place was $2.50! Most were around $1.70

I sure was hoping for the under a buck prices some are finding.

Current rate here in Central VA is $2.84/gal. I have an account with AmeriGas. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to shop around to see what else is out there? I have a 500 gal in-ground tank at the house, and a pair of 100 gal above ground tanks for the shop that I rent from them. Might be a pain to switch...

East Tennessee is $1.49 right now, with a guaranteed $1.99 re-fill for one year.

I've had issues with Amerigas in the past but that may differ per region.

I just filled my 500 tank at 1.67 gal. In NH.

Another note from Western KY - we just got a fill-up for 1.19 gal. However, the places that I called were mostly between 1.40 and 1.70 - somebody at work told me about the place selling for 1.19, and you had to pre-pay to get that price as well.

I paid about $2.00/gal last year.

I sent you a PM. Wondering which company you are referring to.
