Last years contract price was $1.95. This year our contract price is $2.32. I shopped it and all were within a few cents. I don’t own my own tank.

Does 500 gallons get you guys through the winter?


I only have the tank filled once a year and average about 285 gallons of propane total for the furnace, water heater and gas stove. I also cut, split, stack and burn 6 cords of firewood from our property. Just a little miffed as to why the cost of propane has gone up so dramatically in a year!

Just like anything prices fluctuate all the time. You just gotta be ready when prices go low to buy and store it. Bought 4500 gallons last fall at a great price at that'll last me a while.

Nobody is to blame. It's just economics. The price of oil and natural gas is higher this year.
