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. -- I'm a *Liberal* because I knew the militant christian fundamentalist racist militaristic xenophobic corporate oligarchy wasn't going to work for me. |

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. -- I'm a *Liberal* because I knew the militant christian fundamentalist racist militaristic xenophobic corporate oligarchy wasn't going to work for me. |

If it's true, the 2% interest is cheaper than the IRS levied on you, eh? |

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. http://tinyurl.com/aaae9dp -- I'm a *Liberal* because I knew the militant christian fundamentalist racist militaristic xenophobic corporate oligarchy wasn't going to work for me. |

That $2.54 price at the bottom of the short list in the URL was a "special price" all new customers get when they switch from their old propane provider to the company we're now using...25 cents off per gallon on the first tank full-up. Our new provider is locally owned and seems a hell of a lot more customer-service oriented than the provider we had for more than nine years. That company was owned by an out of state corporation. -- I'm a *Liberal* because I knew the militant christian fundamentalist racist militaristic xenophobic corporate oligarchy wasn't going to work for me. |
