I just ordered 100 gallons of propane. The man said the total is going to be close to $300, $300 and has to be paid when he comes!! He also said that is providing that they don't have to do a pressure check or it will be $50 more. I still have fire coming through the heaters, I don't need a pressure check and they are trying to say that I might. I told him that if I can show the delivery man that fire is still coming through will they still charge me? He said maybe not if I can prove it but, he is not sure. I am going to mention weights and measures if they try. We have already been questioning if the correct amount is put in when we buy propane.

OMG $350 for propane that I just bought 3 weeks ago as well?! I love winter time but, I am ready for it to be over...this stuff is too high and 100 gallons could last me nearly all summer but, since I heat my house and water with propane I have to buy it. Dh worked on getting the $$ together all weekend to buy this propane to find out we might need $50 more. I have $340 sitting here and I hope like heck they don't charge the extra $50 and a delivery fee. Something has to be done about the prices or something has to be done about the limits you have to purchase (no less than 100 gallons at a time). I wrote an article in the newspaper and it didn't help squat, they still refuse to work with anyone so it was a waste of my time.

Doesn't help that we have to spend about $100 a week in gasoline so that dh can go back and fourth to work, we rarely go anywhere else because, of gas prices. We need a gas efficient vehicle. I just love how there are problems with liquid/natural gas in the economy but, the big names are profiting billions a year and gloating about it.

Our propane guy comes when he knows it's time to fill up the tank.  He came yesterday, and it came to $631.55 ($3.599/gallon).  We get a little discount if it's paid within 10 days.  I remember paying $.70+/gallon not too many years ago!!

We live in an extremely expensive area.  Thank God our winters have been milder than normal these past few years.  Otherwise, it would be alot more than that!

Normal propane prices around here are about $2.59/gallon.  However, I piggyback on my parents...who have multiple propane accounts around the area.  So, instead of paying the normal price, I get to use the discount my parents get...which is $1.65/gallon.  I knew my parents were good for something!   

We us fuel oil and filling the tank has been running about $500 a pop. We have to fill it all the way because it will get condensation otherwise and then the heater will misfire all night, scaring us all to death. We use propane for the generator but we haven't had to run that much-yet-knock on wood.

The driver came this afternoon and I stopped him before he went to the tank like they always do. I told him that "John doe told me to have you come inside to see the heat working before you try to pressurize and charge me an extra $50". The man came inside and said no problem, I wan't charged the extra $50 so we went ahead and splurged on dinner out tonight with the rest of the money we had set aside for the propane. The prices of this stuff just makes me sick, I wish it would go down.

Thanks for letting me vent this morning, I really needed it. I was irritated with the whole thing, mainly the possible $50 extra they wanted. Oh, I also didn't get charged a delivery fee this time.


Sticks, I am with ping! Can we claim you as a big brother? lol. Awesome discount! Mine is nearly $3 a gallon and then they tack on taxes, usually a delivery fee, etc.

Ping, 1000 tank is insane!! You must have a large home to have such a big tank. Wow, I feel for you.

Hey!


 :wave:I just saw the caption under the crazy cat lady's cupcake muncher! Sooo cute! 

 

We use propane to heat our home and hot water. I purchased an electric range so I don't have to worry about using gas to cook with and my dryer is electric.

Rita ~ it's about time you got my message:laughing:

The only things that we run on propane is our heater and our stove!  I love being able to have heat and food if the power goes out in a bad storm!!
