cost of propane

$.99 a gallon in Missoula!!!! Wow.....we pay anywhere from $1.99 to $2.99 here in Central Oregon!

I live in Alberta and it costs about $70 to fill the propane tank on my Class A. By luck, I was almost out of propane one time when I was in Missoula, MT and went to the local RV dealer to fill up. They charge $0.99 per gallon for propane. We were down there 2 weeks ago and propane tank was down to 1/4 tank on an 80 pound tank and it cost $13.86 to fill it up. Huge savings over what it is here in Alberta.

It's about $3.49 here in Dallas.

Have you tried one of the home delivery propane services in your area? My experience is that they are usually less expensive than the other options. When I googled it, I see there is one called Superior Propane that seems to have service your area.

I find that Tractor Supply Stores have the cheapest propane around, however not all have propane and not all have room to fill an RV. The second are the Uhaul stores.

Is there any farm coops?? That is one alternative source I have used. Many of your rental shops sell propane, but they are usually the most expensive. Look up your local distributor that fills home propane tanks, that should be the cheapest.

Around here, Menards started selling propane for RVs. That has been the cheapest anywhere. They are trying to build an infrastructure for propane fueled vehicles. They have different prices based on use. The operator just punches into the computer what it is for, and the amount is calculated at the pump.

We filled up our propane at one distributor location where they just had us pull up near one of their delivery trucks to hook up. The fill port fittings on home service tanks/cylinders are the same as those on permanent RV tanks.

Hi mower,

Probably but the paper work.....

Nearest dealer that I'm certain of is over 200 miles away in Sherwood ND

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.

See if you can mod it to take 3x30# tanks.

Looks like it's $0.899 per liter ($3.40/gallon) in Saskatoon, SK.
