I just checked on the cost of propane with our supplier and it's down to $1.29/gal and $1.19/gal if you own your own tank. It was $1.59 all winter. It sure dropped early this year and I'm wondering if I should do the yearly fill-up now or take the chance on whether it will drop more later in the summer. I would normally fill up around July or so.

They are a small family owned place and don't have any hidden transport/delivery fees like most other places do either.

Their prices can also be monitored below:

That's great, best we can do is $2.09 a gallon if you bring your own tank for a fill-up.

If it were me, I'd personally fill up now and just be happy to get that good a deal. How much lower could it realistically go?

I just called and bought 200 gallons worth at that price. 200 gallons won't fit in the tank right now, but I'm hoping at the end of summer it will. I also hope the price isn't lower at that time, as it will suck having to pay more than what the market value is at that time. A guy I work with purchased all of his next winters worth already at that price.
 
$2.69 yesterday for bring your own tank fills.
 
Last time I looked it was 1.79 a gallon.
 
Just ordered a top off for my tank. $.799 for over 300 gallons. I own my own 1000 gal tank.

I asked what prepay is for this coming winter and was told $1.299. Their contracts come out in July.

I'm in the process of installing a furnace, water heater, gas log set. The best I've found around here is $1.01. It's a great time to fill up!
 
Wow, that's what we paid 20 yrs ago when we moved into this joint. I haven't checked recently but I'll bet it's still over $3 here.

With all of the natural gas available propane storage has to be bursting at the seams right now. I bet a lot of it is being flared.
 
.89 cents a gal . Wish I had bigger & more tanks

Just received prepay contract for this coming winter. Price is $1.099 cash prepaid. Looks like I will be using LP for heating this coming winter.

My father has a 1000 gal tank, and with prices doing what they are... he has hedged his bets and put another 1k in. I have a 500 underground tank here. Last fill was $1.17 I think. You all are right... prices stay this low I will be burning MUCH less wood.
 
Still going for $3-4/gallon in the Seattle area. Suburban Propane has a monopoly. FWIW, when we moved to our current house 20 yrs ago it was about $1/gal..
