Propane Rates in Florida

I just bought a home in Florida to have a base for winter. Ridiculously low foreclosed prices of homes versus CG fees in Florida, this ole Full Timer jumped on buying one to park my MH. So I guess I'm back to being called a Snowbird? I dunno just know I will save a lot of money this winter.

That said. I'm from Wisconsin and going propane in that state is a no brainer cause it IS far cheaper than electric.

What is with Florida propane rates? I called the existing propane company for the tank in my yard and he quoted a whopping 4.68 a gallon!? It was only 1.68 in Wisconsin.

1. Can each state charge what ever they want for propane? :?

2. If you live in Florida is it cheaper to have an electric hot water heater or propane?
I just can't figure out the whole kilowatt versus gas math problem!

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You a1so need to find out if that tank in your yard is owned by you or leased from the propane company. If it is leased, you will have a yearly lease payment and you will only be able to buy your propane from that company. When did you call about propane prices? Propane prices are usually at the lows in Summer. And yes, 4.68 is very, very high.
