It's that time of year again, we're filling propane tanks. Down the road a bit, we have a feed-and-seed that has a reputation for the lowest price around here, so that's where I get my tanks filled. There was a time, forty years ago, when I heated my house on propane and had a 200 gallon tank sitting beside the house. That time is long-gone.
I still use propane to heat the shop, and do some occasional cooking. MY fish cookers use propane and the griddle uses propane. Both of my stoves are electric, and I still do my barbequing on wood or charcoal.
Propane prices are up this year, according to the lady at the cash register. She claims, about 50 cents a gallon. That surprises me because when I get a standard 20 lb bottle filled, it's done by weight, not volume. That being said, three 20 lb bottles cost me $71.19 this morning.
If I'm running propane I'm not running the air conditioners.

Tractor Supply does propane by the gallon, its nice you can take a half tank in and just pay for what they actually put in.
Huh, I got my big tank filled this week for less than the same company filled it last year.
165 gallons came to $336, a hair over $2 a gallon. It was almost $3 a year ago.
