    Holy cow! Just got quoted $1.95 here, because we fill tanks at four houses (all our family) at the same time and we're frequent customers. Normal summer rate right now is $2.05.

    I wonder why it's so much cheaper up there?

    $4.23 delivered including 2% discount for payment at delivery. We only have a 100# cylinder just for our gas cooktop so we’re not big users. Haven’t filled any 20# cylinders for the gas grill in awhile so don’t know what the price is for those.

    I think the last 20# tank I got filled was $18.

    That was at a different place than I get my bulk from.

    Very very little. 4 winters and used only in fall/spring "to get the chill out". Maybe 25 gallons a year so far.

    I assume it (LP) comes by ship or pipeline so low transportation costs..

    Most propane around these parts comes into facilities via semi with tanker trailer & is unloaded into a bulk tank (bullet).

    Then delivered out to customers via a smaller bulk truck.

    There is a large propane truck terminal in McPherson, KS. I know there other around the country.

    I am just familiar with that one as I drove by it regularly hauling salt out of the mines in Lyons & Hutchinson.

    I don't know why. Just don't go telling anyone as they may get the idea to move here. :p

    Maybe it takes the U.P. awhile to "catch up" to the rest of the world? We are really looking forward to indoor plumbing! :cool:

    :D :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    Usually, the company offering that price requires a minimum 200 gallon order.

    Yes same here and our prices our 3 dollars plus a gallon. But semi trucks are roughly 250k and truckers with haz mat are 75k conservatively. Propane is by product of oil drilling so the Dakota oil drillers got a pipeline to Great Lakes to load ships to get to Atlantic makes sense. Prices along that route significantly cheaper

    When I called a few weeks ago we were at $1.20/gal when owning your own tank.
