Poll: Propane Cost

[Lenny Gurvich]

Hey gang. Just a quick poll if you don't mind. I'm curious how my local propane price compares to other areas. In Tampa I pay $17 for a 20lb tank refill currently.

Lenny,

Here it goes from $19.99 to $23.99 a tank.

$0.75/lb here * 20lb = $15

Refill on a 20# tank costs me 14.99 at a place just down the street from me -- gotta love it.

I just paid $25 to fill a 30 lb tank for my camper. That was at the local campground.

I was filling mine at U-Haul for $20-$25 a bottle or doing the exchange at the grocerie stores (I know the lazy way) for about $20 for a 3/4 full bottle. Last time I went to U-Haul they were having issues with the pump. I ended up going to a Propane distributor and paid about $.63 w/tax. can you say U-Who?

 

[Mark R-S]

I pay about 20 Euros ($30) to exchange an 11Kg (25 pound) bottle, or 23 Euros ($36) to exchange a 10Kg (22 pound) composite bottle. That's considered cheap around here. You can pay much more.

I use composite bottles. Although they're more expensive to exchange, I like that they're lighter and that I can see how much gas I have.

A little over 17 bucks for a 20lber in the Milwaukee area. Menards is the cheapest and quickest, if you're in a hurry.

 

[George Curtis]

just under 20.00 around here for an exchange.

Hey George C.
Take your exchange tank to Suburban Propane on Ave. 296 in Visalia, if your close enough. Not only is it cheaper, but you'll get a full tank. The exchange tanks programs only give you around 15 lbs or 3-1/2 to 4 gals.
On Wed. up hear they take off an extra $.20 per gal.
Check it out.

 

[JimK]

$18-ish for 20lb exchange around here.

 

[George Curtis]

$11 Canadian at Costco for a 20lber. Not too long ago it was $10....

Why so expensive in the USA???

In Whittier, California the place I go charges by the gallon. Yesterday it was $3.99 a gallon.

There are a few exchange places in the area. I have a smaller tank I take camping and a regular size for my grill. I think it's a better value when they just charge you for what you get.

 

[Phil Perrin]

I also do the exchange thing. It's about $22-24 depending on where I go. There is a place acroos the road that charges $22,but they run out a lot. WM also does the exchange,but it is a MAJOR PIA. It also isn't any less expensive.

About $12 here at the camp trailer dealer.
