Propane Prices

[rtimgray]

We just got a fill up at .89/gallon. We are fortunate to have a 500 gallon tank that we own and it lasts us all year. I think this past year, even with a relatively cold winter, we still had about 15% showing in the tank.

Our church recently purchase a 1,000 gallon tank so that we could do a summer fill up and not have to refill it during the winter. We have been victims of high prices in cold weather. Thankfully, we should be good to go from now on.

Good luck and take care.

67 cents about 3 weeks ago.

I just filled my tank up this week and it cost .44 cents a litre so that would be about 1.60 Canadian/Imperial gallon.

WOW! You guys are paying less than $1 per gallon!! I understand that you're getting big tanks refilled, but I thought I was doing good getting my grill tanks refilled at TSC for $2.29 per gallon!! LOL!

Even at $2.29 per gallon, it was costing me just a hair under $10 per tank to get them refilled. All of the places that I called around here that refill "by the tank" are charging $15 - $22 per refill!! I keep 5 tanks here (hate to run out during a rib smoking session!!) so I usually take 2-4 tanks at a time to get them refilled.

I bought mine for .93 cents to fill a 500 gal. tank. The guy said I had to wait for Sept. to lock in and it will be higher then. EVERYTHING IS MONEY TODAY.

You guys are KILLING me! After $4 propane the winter before last I put in a geothermal heat pump system at significant expense. I still have a propane backup furnace though, so if it gets cheap enough I can still run propane.

Just checked yesterday in the Cookeville, TN area: A couple of the "name brand" suppliers (Amerigas) quoted $2.19/gal. Then the games started. "Oh, you OWN your tank?? Well, then it's $1.89, but we'll need to inspect and certify your tank" (more$$). So back to the locally-owned mom-and-pop company that we've previously used; $1.33/gal. Still more games. "Oh, since you haven't had any refill in over a year, I can offer you a "returning customer" price; $0.96/gal".

What a profit racket!

Just be glad you have mom-n-pop's left. Around here Amerigas and Ferrellgas are buying them all up.

$1.69 in the heart of Marcellus and Utica shale gas area. Still way better than $4.69 two years ago.

Exactly! I also called one of the used-to-be mom & pops. Still the same name. My call was automatically forwarded to **AmeriGas**.
