Had our yearly fill up of the 500 gallon propane tank that we own. Last 4 years price was less than $1.00 a gallon. This year the cheapest I could find, and I called 6 propane dealers, was $1.38.9 cash price. This is a 41.2% increase. Whom do I thank? Chris

Last year I contracted for winter at 1.029. This year the cheapest I can find as of Tuesday was 1.589. This winter is going to hurt.

Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years.
Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.

On that one, CB, I'm gonna hate say " there is another side" of the story that is missing. Sure is ! After that one Month, he switched out the Propane Boiler to Natural Gas. Still can't figure out why his Natural Gas bill is so high; during the Winter Months. Between $600 to $700 a Month , just for Natural Gas. Yes, he has Gas Hot Water and a Gas Stove , and a Gas Clothes Dryer. But, he has 12 inches of Fiberglass insulation in the walls and in the Roof area. On top of that, he has the heat set at only 60 degrees.

Those swap tanks are only usualy filled with 15 POUNDS of propane not the 20 they can hold.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

If you do not like the price, get yourself a chainsaw and go out and cut about 6-8 cords of wood (might need more/less depending on location and insulation). That is what I do. If I was smart I would just work 2 extra overtimes a year and heat with propane. But, I like being out in the woods.
Does 500 gallons get you guys through the winter?
