Propane prices this winter

Just got 250 gallons today at $1.82/gallon. Not part of a buying coop but have threaten to join one if Eastern did not come down on their price. While not the lowest price around, I don't want to go through hassle of yanking their buried tank out of the ground and buying one so I can shop around. Typically use about 1200 gallons over the course of a year (heating, dryer, stove and hot water).

If you change they don't yank it out of the ground. The new company buys it. I asked.

If it's above ground they swap it out and you have to get credit for remaining gas from the old tank.

Right but mis said he/she didn't want to "go through the hassle of digging their buried tank out of the ground" so that's what I was responding to. Because I had thought the same thing.
