Just got a call from my supplier here in SE Iowa and their contract
price for next year (if prepaid) is $1.929.....current price off the
truck is $2.099. For comparison purposes we contracted 800 gallon at
$1.569 last year. I realize that propane is normally less expensive in
this part of the country than in most other parts but was just curious
about prices elsewhere.

The bummer (besides the price) is that each year they keep wanting all
of their money earlier in the year if you prepay. This year you must be
paid in full by May 1st even though we will probably not start using the
propane for heating until mid October.

Prices and comments from around the country would be appreciated.

P,

Just had some delivered last week. It was $2.60/gal. I think it was
$2.30/gal. last Oct.

That's a good trick since the wholesale price of propane is in the $3.10 -
$3.20 range. They must have had a *LOT* on hand.

Our tank was filled a month or so ago, $5.36/gallon (central Florida). I'm
changing from Amerigas to Blue Flame...they are only $3.85/gallon.

Is that a very small tank or what? I realize that propane in Iowa is
cheaper than most places, but $5.36! I am the OP and I was talking about
500 or 1,000 gallon tanks.

dadiOh,

Are you complaining because I pay less than you at $2.60/gal or because
the OP is paying $2.10/gal?
$5.36/gal? I hope you don't heat a lot in Florida. Is that the price to
fill up the grill tank?
