OT - Propane suppliers quietly reduce size of refills

Anyone who uses Blue Rino or similar..prefilled tank exchanges..is a
moron to begin with.
Agreed. They're certainly not cost-effective.
Find a filling station with the propane bulk tank and simply get the
****ers filled. The new bottles (tri-sided valve top) takes 4.5 gallons
to fill.
Blink blink..its hardly rocket science.
Ayup. I looked at the price of an empty tank and a fill, then at the
Blue Rhino tanks and immediately bought the empty and had it filled.
It cost an extra buck to purge it. No brainer.
Im paying $3.25 gal for propane at my usual spot.
Which is $14.25 for a fill up.
NOT the $25 Blue Rino wants for an exchange.
I haven't refilled since the price went up, so I'll likely pay more
than $8.25 the next time, huh? ;(
