Propane for the gas grill

I just paid $19 to fill the tank at a place it use to be $15.

What is everyone else paying?

I burn about 600/gal/mo but it costs $1100 or so here. The cost is unreal and this fuel is not consumed in mass quantities by Asia, it is just me-too gouging.

your paying under $2 a gallon for propane on the island? residential propane around southcounty RI is around 3 to 4 a gallon. I wouldn't feel so bad.

yes there is. However I factor those costs into the price of my work, and I can shut down if sales are slow.. so they are not fixed prices. If anything they are production costs.
