Finding propane prices on line.

No.

The only on-line prices for propane I've seen are for Pilot & Flying J locations - and I had to use the MyPilot phone app to see those.

Someone ran a thread about need a gas buddy type app for propane on this forum a few months ago.

For the amount of usage I get out of two 30# cylinders I usually don't worry much about the pricing.

But I haven't seen pricing over $3/gallon since 2008

Two winters ago prices topped $5.00 gallon, if you could get it at all. Local to me they were rationing deliveries at $5.50 a gallon. Didn't fall back to the twos until Late April.
The dealer in question might have been caught up in state regulations. When we used to sell propane, we could have a minimum charge, which was necessary because some people wanted us to go out in the rain, crawl under their RV to hook up the fill hose only to find out that topping off their tank took a quarter of a Gallon of Propane. Some states, however, only allow sales by volume, minimum charges are not legal, so maybe the guy priced high to make the overall business viable.
Or maybe, propane was just plain expensive at the time he filled is tank which is very dependent on where he is located.

There are websites for it.

I found out that propane is NOT regulated and each vendor of propane can charge what ever they want. Blows my mind that the gov doesn't regulate propane.

I found a trend that some states are lower than others but will always run across a propane station that upsets that trend by charging 2 times more than the others.

When I lived in Wisconsin I never paid more than a couple of bucks per gal. for propane. Here in Florida my local propane guy gets almost 5 bucks per gal. :R

Here's some links. Rates change daily.

Keep in mind this is what THEY pay for it NOT what they SELL it for.

Here in florida I found one area that they paid 1.86 and sell it for 5.00.

Highest I have ever paid was $3.25/G.
Never seen it higher.

As they say.........location, location, location

If you have a Tractor Supply in the area, they are generally the least expensive.

Ditto on Tractor Supply. Here at the local TSC store in Ky. Just paid $1.79 a gallon.

Just noticed an Ace hardware store price today - $3.29 per gallon. That is about average for Rhode Island.

Tractor Supply is a good place to buy at decent price. Large lot to park in too.
