Ours runs between $1.15 and $1.35 prepay the last few years if it goes higher I just run the straight wood boiler then.

Sorry it worked out that way Coop74. I have had good luck finding local companies who want my biz and they have tanks for rent, re-manufactured or brand new tanks they can price installed, and will usually allow you to prepay as low of a price as they can offer and one even matches his competitions pre-pay price if it is better. This IS the time of year to wheel and deal IMO anyway

When you lease a tank they jack up the price over what they will sell to one that owns their tank. Tanks also have a date on them where they have to be retested before getting them filled. DON'T mess up and run out of propane as there is a fairly new federal rule if your tank is empty and they have to test ALL your whole system and it runs around $100 here. If you own a grain dryer or LP fueled tractor there is another lower price per gallon on that as well.

I usually contract my propane around the first part of July as it seems that is about the best time and price for around here. Neighbor just bought a second tank last year so he can buy at the best price with out having to worry about running out. The company he bought it from just told him used tank prices have skyrocketed and if he was interested they could sell his extra tank for him. It's always a gamble on when to buy and what worked for you last year may not work again for you this year.

We don't have prepay. We have summer fill. You can not pay for more than you can hold. Summer fill has been right at a buck. I filled this spring before the summer preice kicked in and it was $1.65 I would be looking to get propane else where.

Our oil company will let you prepay but if it goes down that’s what they charge you if it goes up they honor the prepay price.

We own our 500 gallon tank and each August we call the local suppliers for a price quote. Usually find the price at .95 to 1.10 per gallon. If you call once heating season arrives or in the dead of winter (ouch) 2.00 or more per gallon. Only use 275 gallons a year as we keep thermostat low and burn wood in a Cozy Heat fireplace. Water heater and one cookstove used for canning are propane too.
