That's the only problem with propane. You really can't shop for
competitive pricing ... at least not in my state .... because only the
supplier who installed the tanks can fill them.

Is that state law? Sounds like restraint of trade to me. Someone
should challenge it in court.


They passed the laws based on the pretense that they don't want to put
gas into unknown equipment. It's inaccurate to say you can't shop
around, you can but to switch you have to get the new folks to bring in
their own tanks and usually that either costs, or means a contract...
