Propane going up 94%

[Rebelss]

That's what I'd like to know, seems we pay more out here than you guys.

And we pay more than those east of us...makes no sense.

Really, that's insane. I know the one town in Montana that has 5 refineries is the most expensive place in the state for gas, don't get that.

Exactly.... Makes a lot of sense doesnt  it?

We owned a convenience store and sold gas. Short answer is further from refinary less store pays for petroleum but higher on transport. Closer pays more for petroleum but less for transport. It's supposed to Ballance out by it rarely does. Glad to be out of that racket.

[Rebelss]

Well, that doesn't work here.....our gas is that worthless corn-squeezin's (Ethanol), and we have big plants around here, 'cuz of all the corn we grow, but gas sure ain't cheap! $3.24 gal right now for ethanol garbage gas...

Here in NY the war on fossil fuel continues, they are trying to pass a "climate change" bill that could result in a 26% increase in natural gas heating costs and a 55 cent-a-gallon increase in gasoline taxes. They are already conceding many can’t afford either an electric vehicle or such a hefty increase in gasoline taxes and considering exemptions base on salary and "needs"...  government will decide whether you "need" to go fishing, hunting, trapping, etc???   
I'm just saying don't bury your head in the sand on this, get out and vote accordingly this November!

[Rebelss]

55 cents a gal?! That's insane! Along with the heating costs.....just what people need right now or next year.

Which crook do I vote for?

I try to vote for the crook that will do the least damage. It's getting harder and harder since they are all liars too.

Bought a 6-pack of Coleman propane one-pounders last week at BJs Warehouse Club in Rotterdam, New York.  Paid $21.99 plus tax.

[Rebelss]

Amazing how, like gasoline, it varies like crazy in price from one area to another...makes no sense to me.

[Buckshots]

It’s like Striker gear. They entered the market with cheaper gear that was priced accordingly, and now it’s all overpriced! And it’s still all made in China! Yes please I’d love to buy a 100 dollar hoodie!!

One way I save on propane is buying from my local U-Haul place.
They offe price breaks on propane at 11 gallons, 21 gallons, and iirc 31 gallons and 41 gallons.
So by bringing in enough tanks to hit at least the 11 gallon mark saves me several cents a gallon.
Last time i brought in my 100# tank 2 bbq tanks and my 11# ice fishing tank.
This got me over the 21 gallon mark for an additional savings.
They said the price was steady for the last 5+ years but now it's going up.
Let's go Brandom!!

That's no joke. I commute about 40 minutes to work... gas at the stations right by my job this morning... $3.79. 2 towns over closer to home (about 15 miles to the east)... $3.42.

Absolutely right. Remember this on Election Day.

Well this is Depressing.  Just checking in for the winter and see this.

That's the only place I've ever gotten mine...but it's still up to $3.90 gal right now. To top off my tank will cost me what it did to fill the whole thing earlier this year!!! Maybe no big deal to some , but those of us on a set income, every penny counts! 

[DR.SPECKLER]

Will have to run 90% seafoam to 10% fuel mixture soon.

[Rebelss]

I'm building a nitro-methane still. 

[Spider1]

LOL, they are selling 8 pcs of split logs for $20 to the tourons that stay in the cottages at the lake I fish at!

I hear you all of these price increases are ridiculous.
Inflation really sucks! But people are getting what they voted for.
At least they're telling us the election was honest. Not sure all of us believe it!
If my suggestion helps someone save a few cents at least it helps a little bit.
Wish I had a suggestion that would make it even cheaper but, that's all I got.

Just refilled my 5# tank at my local propane dealer...$3.75. After speaking with him he said refilling of the smaller tanks will not see any increase. Says they do it as a convenience for customers...not a money maker. Home heating, etc. on the other hand. Different story.

[Spider1]

I put in my order for heating pellets last night while the prices were still ok. Supposed to run out of pellets early this year and prices will reflect it if you can find any.

I broke even on my Flame Kings a few years ago, it's all money saved at this point.  I figure I go through about 3 20lb tanks a year.  Last year was $12.99 to fill a 20lber so about about $40.   If it doubles this year is just an extra $40.   Not ideal, but not terrifying either.   

Over the past 3 years I have filled each of my 4 Flame King 1lbers at least 50 times.   Compared to $4 for the retail 1lbers and subtracting the initial cost, I've saved over $500. 

They just need to get them things back in stock....

If it stays consistent across the land, there won't be much of an increase in the smaller fills...20# or less...as this is not where the propane businesses make their money. It's a small market in comparison.  But those that purchase large quantities as for home heating and the like? Probably need to be prepared.

[Rebelss]

Makes no sense. U-haul was $3.99 today; another place was $3.39. Topped off my 20 lb'er at that place. U-haul has sign that says propane vehicle fill is $3.59; LP tanks $3.99. What a friggin' racket. I'll never go back there again.
