Delivered propane prices?
 
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.

There's no national retail price for propane, **** for brains, just as
there is no national retail price for gasoline. I'm sure there are
markets where the price is lower than it is here. One dealer locally is
charging a few cents less than we pay, several are at the $4.00 level,
depending on when they bought what they are selling now.

Here's our delivery ticket, showing the deliver price sans taxes.

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.

Propane gas prices do vary, just like gasoline prices, and there are
wide variations based upon geography. We burn about 350 gallons a year,
running a hot water heater, gas fireplace, cooktop, one of our furnaces
and, so far, the 10-minute "test run" once a week of the generator.
Obviously, the furnace in the winter is the big user. I really like the
gas fireplace because there's no wood to buy, no insects in the wood
coming into the house, no smoke and no soot, and it puts out a lot of
heat, and, of, of course, it's "on" by flicking a switch.
