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.


Yeah- I guess it's cheaper. Here in upstate NY I paid $2.70 last
July- and by Jan it was $3.30. [and stayed there through last month.]


I paid $2.75 a gal. last December. I get automatic delivery--



WOW! It's WAAAY more expensive to have them come and fill a tank. I take my
two 20lb tanks to the local welding supply store and it's $38 for 40lbs. I'm
in upstate NY, too.




Yep, you pay for the driver's salary and benefits, the gasoline used to
deliver the propane, wear and tear on the truck, the overhead, and profit.
