Just got a call from my supplier here in SE Iowa and their contract price for next year (if prepaid) is $1.929.....current price off the truck is $2.099. For comparison purposes we contracted 800 gallon at $1.569 last year. I realize that propane is normally less expensive in this part of the country than in most other parts but was just curious about prices elsewhere.The bummer (besides the price) is that each year they keep wanting all of their money earlier in the year if you prepay. This year you must be paid in full by May 1st even though we will probably not start using the propane for heating until mid October.Prices and comments from around the country would be appreciated.Don

P, Just had some delivered last week. It was $2.60/gal. I think it was $2.30/gal. last Oct.Dave M.

Any propane users out there?

I see. I didn't realize that the deliveries charge by the gallon. Since my current application does require portability I'll always need my little tanks, but it's great to know that we can indeed afford to switch our stove and fireplaces over to propane.

And there are 4lb or so of propane per gallon. Portable tanks are sold by the pound, fixed tanks are filled by the gallon.
