Anyone filled their tank recently? Who and $/gallon? I usually wait till October and my electric bills go down but thinking maybe sooner would be better.

This is the wholesale price that at least StarTex had a fixed markup off of.

Not according to Albert
The Big difference you see in ricing is simply this,,, the big Corporate owned companies like to get as big a profit margin as they can,, about 2.00 to 2.50,,, over purchase price,, most independents (we are family owned and operated by one of the sisters) do well with 1.00 over purchase price.
If you want to know what we are ALL paying at any given time at the docks in houston.. just google "mount Bellevue propane spot price".. My # is 979 325 9254 Star tex propane is 1800 792 3487,, currently the price is 1.79 per gallon... Someone mentioned Sharp propane. they just sold out to Ferrel gas in mid summer and all the local employees left them, they are about 3.00 a gallon currently.
Oh, wow! I just received 200 gallons from Pico Propane (just bought out the other company, can't recall their name) and paid $3.20 a gallon.UmustBKidding said:

Typically not. Know in lots of cases its lease to start and reverts to fill based. Know my FIL had a rented tank and new provider set tank, moved remaining propane and topped of new tank. Old one sat for many months before they picked up.
Check your paperwork, or ask about a buyout.
