around 1.95 in my area, and 20 cent discount if you pay the day the truck fills your tank. i have a 1000 gal tank and fill it once a year, almost always in september.
Got the note in the mail from Amerigas today also, at the $1.61 until Sept. I will wait until Sept and check the competition, then order a fill. This was my intent to start with. We are supposed to have a worse winter than last year.

you guys ever have a propane tank loosen that shut off valve on its own?
bought a 100lb tank last year, set it up and left it alone, about a month ago my daughter and I was working near it and kept smelling that tell tale smell, finally checked the tank and the valve was slightly unscrewed. I'm certain no one touched it. no telling how much I lost. That is my emergency tank for the generator so I guess I will have need to get it looked at before winter.

Yeah, in NW Florida, it's bound to be brutal. Especially in the mountains. GD
Where does one buy a 500 gallon tank? With reasonable distance and delivery cost to north Louisiana? My propane company as yet has not responded to my request for a purchase or rental price. I prefer to buy rather than lease. If you lease a tank it ties you to one company and there are serious penalties for another company if they dare fill it.
I now have a 150 which could be a problem with a prolonged power outage. Southern LP gas was the supplier and I rent their tank. They were really good about keeping us filled in the last long outage. Now they have become Pinnacle and it is a bit of an issue to get filled on short notice. Has to be ordered online and if you see the driver filling a tank in the neighborhood he can't come over and top you off without an order.

Disregard the above. Pinnacle just called and told me my tank was a 250.I checked and it is. I thought my 22KW generator was running an awfully long time on 150 gallons. I'll just keep what I have.

$1.39 for summer fill. $1.59 for contract price. I use about 2000 gallons a year to heat my house and welding shop.
NW Minnesota is probably colder than Alaska some days. Montana often is. One day in the past which I can't recall the date north Louisiana was colder than Anchorage.

We just ordered 600 gallons……$2.25/gal. Not cheap…..but acceptable! memtb

I have an upcoming generator install and am considering a 500 gal tank. What is your actual consumption when on the generator?
