I picked up the mail last evening & among the usual assortment of bills was my propane bill. They topped off my tank with 39.8 gallons and the bill was $636.80. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif THAT'S 16 BUCKS PER GALLON!!! I haven't followed propane prices to closely, but I think they are off by a decimal place. A buck sixty should sound about right? Unfortunately it was Saturday evening, so I couldn't call them. I'll have to wait until first thing tomorrow morning, and I mean first thing. Don't you just love little suprises like this?

We got our price guarantee (lock-in) the other day for $1.89. Maybe they just want to collect a little in advance?

Filled my tanks (800 gallons) about two weeks ago for $1.50/gallon here in north Texas.

Did they stick you with an annual tank rental?

Just filled up a new 1000 gallon tank a couple of weeks ago at $1.69 per gallon on Cape Cod.

Just got a fill-up here, and it's running $1.69. That's pretty much the average for the NC triad region right now. Last Winter, it was running $0.25-0.35 less.
Well, I gave them a call. The lady said that $16.00 per gallon wasn't that unusual. That's the number the computer defaults to when there is a glitch. I guess they are better to error on the high side, so that people will bring it to their attention. Anyway, I asked how much was my new total. She couldn't me. So I asked what was the current rate for propane. She couldn't tell me that either. She said everyone pays a different price. I'm starting to think I'm dealing with an insurance agent here. Anyway, I will get my new bill in a week and then I'll find out what propane will cost me. I can't wait. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
