If you have propane delivered to your house to fill a large

residential

tank, what are you paying per gallon in your part of the country?



We're paying $2.79 a gallon, which is about average for delivered

propane in this market.



------------------------------------------



Don't know if it's considered "large" but we have a 100 gallon tank

that fuels a heater in the garage.

Just had 46.5 gallons delivered and the bill was about $175 which

works out to about $3.68 per gallon (after the small delivery fee).



So, I'd say you are getting a great price.

Just had our tank filled, and the price per gallon was $2.24 from a
local supplier. There is another large, regional supplier in this
area (Suburban Propane) who charges upwards of $4 a gallon. If you
call and complain after they fill you, they'll drop the price to
around $3. I don't use them anymore.

I just checked the average propane prices in my area. They vary,
week to week, and ranged from $1.99 to over $4.00 per gallon. The
average was $3.05 per gallon based on 100 to 150 gallons or more per
delivery. The survey noted that prices are higher for lesser
amounts, which is probably why our price was higher (we only needed 46
gallons to fill up the tank).

We also have another 100 gallon tank on the other side of the house
that fuels two gas stoves, two gas dryers and two gas fireplaces
(which we never use). We recently ran those tanks dry but it took
almost two years to use the full, 100 gallons.
