Wow, that’s a great price. I never realized it was so cheap in the west/midwest.
Propane is such a good value.
Not if you have natural gas in your area.
It’s not that cheap around here. About 1.5-2x that in the northeast

We paid $2.94 per gallon 3 weeks ago which is not a bad price for area.
200 yds away. Cost 50k to run a line, and I pay to repave our lane as well. At least that was the estimate 10 years ago.
I looked at 2 CT supplier's and one was $1.89 per gallon and the other has a sliding scale based on quantity purchased.

Actually NY, NJ, Del, MD are also expensive. Our NG is cheaper as well in PA. And our emissions have dropped more than those states.
I think I paid about $1.90 a gallon but that was back in the summer. I'm fairly certain that it will be higher now but don't know how much. Just below Louisville, Ky.
That's the ballpark figure we were given for a 100 yard run about 20 years ago. I'm very happy with our propane.😀
I was on natural gas when I lived 20miles away in town. Natural gas maybe cheaper per btu but with propane I pay by the gallon, no monthly fees to be connected to their lines, no tax if for home heating. That monthly connection fee goes up every year especially when they feel the need to "upgrade" their infrastructure. I did purchase my own used tanks so I am not locked into one supplier, but around here the suppliers are pretty competitive with each other.
We pre bought some last summer for $1.72 a gallon and my shop tank was getting a little low so I called and it was $1.70 last week so I had the house 1000 gallon tank and my shop 500 gallon tank filled. We have had a fairly mild winter so far.
Cost me $170 to fill my 100 gal tank up to 80% that was down to 30%. Glad I only fill it once per year! My neighbor just dished out $1500 to fill his 500 gl tank! So around $3 per gal around here.
I posted $2.39 above at Tractor Supply, but I must be going dyslexic again.
???
In anticipation of this storm I checked at Holston Gas in town. They said $3.50 +/- a gallon and around $18 to fill a 20lbs tank.
So I'm thinking I meant $3.29 a gallon at Tractor Supply.
Anyway, I had my son take three of my 20lbs tanks to Tractor Supply. He didn't use my card and didn't get a receipt.?
He said it cost $54 for the three.
I use them for two 4k/9k btu Mr. Heater Buddy heaters during winter power outages in my 500² foot cabin.
We got 4-5 inches of snow and ice, with fingers cross, the power is good here.
