The tank exchanges are for people that are either lazy or clueless. You
can take your tank to a gas station that sells propane and get a full tank
for the same, or a lower, price than the tank exchanges. You also get to
give your $ to a local business rather than to Home Depot or Wal-Mart, or
Walgreen's.

Agreed. Although I do have exchange facilities near me, I take mine to my
local propane supplier, and get a MUCH better price. Why anyone would pay
the rates at the exchange places is beyond me, especially when there are
propane dealers very close by.

Because they're after 5:00PM and on weekends.
