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.





Well, there are significant regional differences, but it is
interesting to see what prices are in other parts of the country. I
don't know anything about the propane marketplace other than a few
local prices.

Our $2.79 includes the delivery. We're on an annual contract of sorts.
Based upon usage over the last few years (albeit with a different
propane company), the current propane company estimates our gallonage
usage for the year and we pay a flat fee every month toward that
amount. If the price goes up or if we use a lot more than the
estimate, we make it up at the end of the contact year. If we use
less, we get a refund, plus 2% interest.

This is not an unusual arrangement. Most companies in this area offer
a similar deal, and have a similar deal for home heating oil customers.



Sounds like bull****. If it's true, the 2% interest is cheaper than the
IRS levied on you, eh?
