  Propane Prices

We needed to fill our 1000 gallon tank and our regular supplier, Ferrellgas, wanted $2.79/gallon! Yikes. Thought I'd call around and found another supplier who was $1.79. Suburban was over $3! What are you guys paying now.

  Propane Prices

It's not uncommon for propane dealers to offer lower prices for first time sales to new customers but Ferrelgas is unreal. Dealing with them is like dealing with a used car salesman. When I balked at the $2.79 price and told them another dealer was a buck lower they said, "Well, we can go lower". What a pantload. Does anyone really want to negotiate the price every time they fill up? Next week I'll have the pleasure of calling them to come and get their tank.

I rent the tank because I don't want to own the hassle of inspecting it, keeping it up to code and disposing of it when it's life is over.

Regarding comfort - one word, enthalpy. Moist air at a given dry bulb temperature contains more heat energy than dry air at the same temperature. So comparing dry bulb temperatures of dry winter air to humid summer air is like comparing apples and oranges as far as human comfort goes.

I've read that many 20 gallon and smaller tanks have about a 12 year service life. They have date codes for this purpose. Don't know if that applies to larger tanks though. The way they changed the code to require OPDs on smaller BBQ style tanks got me to thinking that maybe I don't want to hassle with owning the big tank.
