At Amerigas, Laconia, my prebuy propane was 2.89/gal for 300 gallons....or about $900.... enough for the winter....not too shabby. I have a q-tank, 100gal tank. Hey, it pays to be poor and not live in a huge waterfront mcmansion! Last year, it was 2.49, and the year before it was 4.89, but as an automatic fill and not a prebuy.
The mcmansion next door uses oil.........too bad! It's this large, fancy house, and except for the oil delivery guy is totally unoccupied from Labor Day to Memorial Day.....hmmmm.
Apparently, propane has not had the same big price run-up like heating oil. Have no idea why?
