Consider yourself lucky. My last propane bill (November) was $141.01

43.4 gallons. That's $3.249 a gallon.


Lucky indeed. I paid $3.20 about a month ago and, according to US E.I.A.
1-week old data, average residential propane was at $2.598 on 12/06/2010,
26% up from this time last year (

Slightly off-topic though: they delivered only 43.4 gallons?


Automatic delivery. They just top it off every other month or so whether
I need it or not..


I have automatic delivery too. I had 25 gallons when they stopped by and
decided that I had enough (it's just for a gas fireplace, but...). :-( Really
strange.
