I'm confused about propane.
I understand what propane does. The confusing bit is how the gas stations arrive at the cost of the propane they put in my tanks. This morning the local Esso filled up my 30lb tank and has a gauge ...

I was reading this and getting confused by the second!
I fill my 20 pound tank with up to about 4.2 gallons of propane - even though it is called a 5 gallon "Nominal" tank. There is always space left above the liquid and that is for expansion.
I am not sure how many liters that is. You have 30 pound tanks, so they are a little larger. Perhaps they can hold 6.5 gallons?
I do agree that you got overcharged at one place, and it seems like really expensive fuel at $1 per liter that would be over $3.79 - I can buy it in Portland Oregon at several stations at $2.29 per gallon.
You might check Manchester Fuel tanks, and hopefully find out how many liters will fit into a 30# tank.
Good luck!
