FLL...Island is right,it all depends on usage and the size of your tanks.Several of us in business around Center Harbor including Senters Market buy together and only pay $1.51,but together,we have 18,000 gallons of storage and use 120,000 gallons a year.
Trucks,tanks,payroll,insurance etc. make it unprofitable to deliver small amounts of propane and that's why the average homeowner who may only use a few hundred gallons has no leverage.
No gas company wants to service and fill competitors tanks and don't want to install new tanks for small accounts.I don't see a way out unless you can get a big group of neighbors to form a group and do a contract with one supplier.It'd painful,for sure...good luck.
