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.


so's any Ace Hardware.


I have several Ace Hardwares in my area, and none sell propane.
