I believe these people have lost there minds, do you think $1.78 per gallon is a reasonable markup? Or have I just about lost mine?

It seem that you are putting your suppliers kids through Harvard or Yale.....

It seems like a waste of time because they will make more money selling propane at those rates than they will by becoming investment bankers.....
It must be that they can't wait for those 100 million dollar bonus checks to roll in.


I think I would find somebody else to buy it from. It is around $1.79 a gallon here in northern Michigan

I have a 1000 gallon tank, so I can do all my fills in the summer. August fill was $1.09 per gallon. It is not uncommon for various suppliers to range a *LOT* in pricing. I heard anything from $1.09 to $1.99 depending on who I called.

I pay $16.00 to get 20 lb. propane tanks filled for our grill...Seems awful high for you.

$1.99 per gal in Catt County NY.

1.99 to 2.09 here today when checking on new supplier for a rental property.

It was 1.65 last time checked in December.

The rates above are for rental tanks.

Consider yourself luck. There was a propane cost discussion on my local chat list a week or so ago. People were paying maybe $2.75 to $3.10ish a gallon.

I am down in central NC so not far from you. There was a wide variety of prices quoted by people on the list. Not sure if the range was based on long term contracts, amount bought, and/or tank ownership. Seemed danged expensive to me anyway you looked.

Over the years I have heard people talking about paying $200-500 for propane. They implied that is what it cost to heat the house for a MONTH!

Later,

This may help. You can select different states.

On this site, propane in Maine is currently $3.04! I signed up for $2.20 last fall. Fuel is expensive in the Northeast.

[hr3]

Just filled the guest house,,,$2.80 a gal..

 

[oldtractors]

Contracted last August or September for $1.29/gallon. It was cheaper than the state average price. I am not sure what the cast price is right now. I would guess in the $1.50 - $1.60 range. I would like to find a nice propane powered tractor to use around the place. Propane is a lot cheaper than diesel or gasoline right now.

$16.00 for 5Gal seems way too high, that is $3.25/Gal.

Propane is a by-product of oil refining so it is cheaper the closer you are to refining areas. I think it is also cheaper in the Mid West because they can barge it up the Mississippi?? Dunno for sure. I know we have pretty high prices here, not as high as the North East though. High propane costs is why I switched to wood pellets and I haven't had a fill in over 4 years

id say our mid winter price is roughly twice what summer price is.

2.50 was about what i paid at the start of the winter to fill. id be happy with that price right now. i think i heard a friend say he paid little over $3 about 2 weeks ago or so.

What always gets me is the difference in price if you own or rent your tank. Huge differences I found a place that charges the same price if you rent or own the tank and I payed 2.6x something for propane last week. I only have a 120 gallon tank and the price drops based on the amount of propane that you buy.
