I know you use a very high volume, so naturally you will get a low price per gal.
i go through amerigas. the key to getting a good price is no to discuss your retail rate through them, but to ask what price you are going to pay above wholesale. When you call around, ask them what rate they can give you above wholesale and ask them what their wholesale rate is. Now i dont know if a propane company will play this game with a residential customer, but when i tell them how much i use they are drooling for my business. I dont own the tank, but i also refused to sign a contract to lock myself into their business. If i find a lower rate, i call them and if they dont match the rate, they're gone... adios, pick up your tanks.. see ya and they know it so they always match the competitions price.
