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? ;(

Shrug..Ive seen propane everywhere from .99 to $5 per gallon in the
last 4 months. The two places I purchase propane from average about $3
a gallon...but Ive not bothered to check deeper.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
