cost of propane

Hi,

I just found out that the local propane dealer in Regina doesn't offer a fill service for fixed tanks on RV's. That means I get to pay the government road tax on any propane I buy here.

Current pricing is $1.46995 per liter, or 1.32428 per pound, or $5.57112 per US gallon.

Road tax is 10 cents per liter.

  • We pay $2.41 gallon here & that is delivered to the house. The gas guy fills my RV when I ask when he fills the house tank
  • Is there any way to file a claim for a refund on that tax?
    We can do it here, but my off-road fuel is so small an amount the paperwork isn't worth it.
    Where is the next closest propane supplier? Can you save enough to bother driving there?
    You could buy a 100 lb. cylinder (no OPD required), and refill the frame mounted tank from it. Just turn the cylinder upside down so you get liquid out of it, and make a hose to connect the two together. Do not use a regulator. We used to do that to refill backpack torch bottles for slash burning in the Forest Service.
