The welding stuff will cost you anywhere from 16c a cubic foot to (the sky is the limit) because it is often priced at whatever the welding shop thinks they can get. Tractor Supply Co charges US$1.10 a cubic foot to refill a teensy 20 CF bottle and US$0.16 a cubic foot to refill a generous 251 CF bottle. Looks like they get a ~$20 hookup fee and a few cents a foot for gas. -- If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying?

Dayum. I should have been a Salesman! --Winston |

No. 9th-grade algebra. It comes to a $18.47 hookup fee and $.086/cft for the gas. (That's for just two data points, of course.) Help, Ed! I show $21.99 for 20 cft. Subtracting $18.47 hookup fee results in a $3.52 charge for the gas. Divide that by 20 cft and we get $0.176/cft, yes? Put another way, an $18.47 hookup fee plus 20 cft of gas at $0.086/cft is $20.19 rather than $21.99, yes? What did I do wrong? --Winston |
