Propane

[Swimmer]

Guy next door last year was paying like $3.50 a gallon from the company that owned the tank and did the install on his heater. He had no contract so he bought his own tank and now has it delivered by the lowest price, whcih I'll ask what that is in the a.m. when I see him. I know the price dropped a dollar a gallon last year when he jettisoned the first company.

Thanks Frank.
I didn't know you could own your own tank!
I would think it's a liability issue because tanks need to be inspected over time !

My company owns the tank, but my plumber did the install, other than hooking to the tank.

Raider - they whack you for an additional .50/gal on Cape if you don't own the tank. Ask your company what the price difference is and crunch the #'s - see if it worth your while.
Last time I checked the price was $1.99/gal (Truro), but I haven't needed to fill this winter because of the mild weather too.

Wholesale prices are around a $1 now, these gas companies are raking customers over the coals.

A lot of people heat with propane here....$2.67/gal as of 1/3
I think they own the tank. I recall looking into the tank think and it is not cheap to buy the tank...I will check again.
