Propane prices are all over the place unlike gasoline. This past winter I paid as low as $2.19 per gallon in Thermal, California and as much as $3.59 in San Diego County. A couple of days ago i paid $2.48 per gallon for propane which I was totally surprised at because the price of gas has gone up so far and yet this really hasnt moved at all, at least yet.

As a noted before, unlike service stations, propane sellers do not go on a daily basis to change pricing. Many smaller sellers that only refill their bulk tank once or twice a year may hold a price well beyond any wholesale increase.
Our largest propane distibutor is right at $3.90 a gallon, but I can drive 5 miles north to a gas station with a bulk tank and we paid $2.65 a gallon.
I didn't mention a thing, but bought and ran like a thief. Bet that price goes up when he refills.

Yes, it was empty. They charge the same if its empty or not. They have all their prices listed by tank size.

the propane exchange here is almost $20 for a small BBQ tank. that's $4.62 a gallon (propane is 4.32 lbs per gallon) so a $30 lb tank would cost me $32.08 to fill.
I spent $45 and made up a hose that I can fill mine up off of my bulk tank(500 gal.) 1 heck of a discount when you purchase 500 gal. at a time, allowing me to fill my tanks at 1/2 price

I filled both my propane tanks last Saturday for $48.00. Still high but not compared to some places around the US.
