Propane prices to the consumer are determined by the SELLER. The prices range all over the place within each state and from state to state.

I was shocked to find out propane is NOT regulated. :(

One propane company wanted to charge me almost 5 bucks per gallon and another said 4 but that was what he called an introductory rate and the next tank would be over 4. I was paying $2 up north. :R

Keep in mind these figures relate to what they pay wholesale. They can then charge the customer what ever they want.

Free enterprise? Oh, the Horror. Wouldn't the world be much better if it was just governmentally mandated that the price was $5.00 a gallon everywhere? Then you wouldn't have to waste your time finding a good deal.
