Received a contract yesterday. 490 gallons at $1.87 a gallon if paid in full. What is the price in your neck of the woods?

When you're feeling down.....down on the ground......propane......
1.87 sounds like a great price.

I filled about two weeks ago and it was $1.99. Most the time the price drops during the summer, but with raising fuel prices I figure there was a good chance it would go up.

If you want a 1000 gallon tank for typical household use, you are going to have to buy it.

I used propane at my last home. Bought an underground tank. After 10 years with the same supplier, I found several who were cheaper. Called one and told them I wanted to switch to them and that I owned my tank. They required me to pay for their technician to inspect my range, gas logs, and hot water heater. Costs was going to be well over $100, ten years ago. I stayed with original supplier but the whole deal left a bad taste.

I think the propane suppliers in my community protected each other. As an individual homeowner I did not have any buying power, so competition was erased.

propane for me is only a backup. I have plenty of wood on my place that falls yearly or dies off. Thank God for my investment years ago.

Dad bought a 1000 gal last year to avoid having to get a 2nd fill when it's high in the winter. They connected it with his old 500 gal tank so now he has 1500 gal storage.

I have a 500gal I have not used or filled in 5 years. Probably should fill it and buy a back up generator to go with it

That’s N.C. for you where the industry has paid for lobbyists to petition representatives to put crap,laws on the books for their own benefit. A few suppliers will break with the BS for me because I’m a plumber and call them out on it. Propane in NC is a joke as far as competition goes.
