Looks like they get a ~$20 hookup fee and a few cents a foot for gas.

?

I scanned their FAQ and didn't see mention of a 'hookup fee'.
Where did you see that, Larry?

IANAB (bookkeeper) but I read between the lines by looking at the
prices of gas by volume. ~ = approximately.shrug

That's the same as saying that they have a $100 hookup fee but
they *pay you* $3.90 a cubic foot for the privilege of giving
you a free refill on your 20 cu ft bottle, yes?

Dayum. I should have been a Salesman!

But wait, there's more!

Fill a larger bottle and the price is cheaper. We'll give you
$0.19/cf for that privilege!
