Default Propane prices?

I usually contract our heating propane (850 gal.) and have normally came
out on top. Well, this past fall they wanted $1.699/gal. to contract and
at that time it was only $1.499 off the truck so I simply topped off
both tanks...500 gal. tank for house and 250 gal. tank for the
shop/garage. As you are aware this winter has been dramatically colder
than normal thus we have used significantly more propane plus there is
somewhat of a propane shortage (real or imagined). I just called to make
sure that they filled both tanks before we leave for Florida next week
and the current price is a whopping $2.69/gal.! So much for not
contracting. :-(

This is in SE Iowa where propane is normally reasonably priced. Anyone
else have any recent prices?


Well, I got a delivery of approximately 250 gal. and although still
quite high it was a pleasant surprise from what the lady on the phone
told me. $2.399/gal. or $2.299/gal. with "quick pay" discount which we
always do.
