WHISKEYSWAMP Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 How much are propane users paying these days? I just called to get a fill up and was quoted $3.69. Another supplier around here is at 2.09. My problem is my tank is buried yet still owned by my current supplier. Every time I fill up, I have call and negotiate my price... I got them to knock it down to $2.69 so it's obvious they are screwing their customers. They offered to sell the tank for $800 bucks last year but that is about twice as much as I want to pay for a 20+ year old tank. I usually get a summer fill up, which I have to negotiate the price down as well, and rarely lock in my price for the year as I only go through about a tank and a half a year. It might be time to invest in an outdoor wood burner, or look into another alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I paid $2.40 back in Dec. when I had my tank filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 We just got filled up, and I want to say our price was $2.60 something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's locked in here for a year and $2.69 a gallon. We get 3-4 fillups a year but we only have a 200gallon tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just got 250 gallons for 2.39. Price is 2.49 a gallon but they drop 10 cents a gallon if you pay in full within a week of your fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not sure on the price per gal, but we filled out 20lb tank up for the fish shack and it was $18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I can't believe I found this post as I have spent nearly a day checking local pricing for my daughter who is coming home in a couple weeks and needs her tank filled. Her present co. wants $5.07.9 per gallon. I live across the road from her and have a different co. I just paid $ 3.09.9 per gallon for a fill up. She uses propane for hot water, cooking and a fireplace type space heater. Her main heat is fuel oil. I heat with propane, hot water heater is propane as well as our cook stove is propane. Last year she used very little as she was living in GA where her husband was stationed. I in turn used 1155 gal. from 1/2010 to 1/2011. I got her company to drop the price to $4.07.9 but I wouldn't hear of it. We have found another company who will fill us for $2.99.9 for her and mine for $2.45.9. One other company would sell for less but they don't have any more tanks available right now and won't have until mid-March. Too late for her as she has until Feb. 15 to fill with her current supplier or have the tank taken away. If her current supplier takes the tank, they wan't to charge her a $ 1.00 per gallon restocking fee! We have switched companies!

Tominator Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wow, I feel really lucky then. I was wrong about my price/gallon, we paid $2.29 on Jan. 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 One of the major pipelines down the road from me was shut down for months for repair. I believe they just reopened it. Most of Central NY gets it propane from that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 HOLY COW! I feel lucky out here in Iowa. Filled up on January 20th @ $1.67. Note: I do own my own tank so that makes a difference. Can you buy the tank out-right from the company? It may pay off in the long run. Look at getting your own tank this summer. Tanks were going for about $1.00 per gallon, however, I'm sure the price has increased since that time. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 A lot of this shows you just what a scam it all is. I realize there are places far and beyond where logistics raise the price, but really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
