propane tank refill

[doinker]

what is the going price to fill a 20lb propane tank for a bbq for the last year i have been going to a tank exchange place but this year the cost is 24.95 plus tax. im tired of paying the middle man. a lot of the places that refilled tanks have gone to the exchange programe

I would not exchange tanks.. that is too expensive

i just take it to a canadian tire petrol station (where they have those huge white propane tanks) and they fill it up for me for $16

Why does it cost much less to put propane in a car than in a portable tank?

Why does it cost much less to put propane in a car than in a portable tank?

The same reasons why a can of Coke can be $1.00 out of a machine in front of a store that sells a 2 litre of Coke can be $0.88 apply here.

I think Costco charges 10 or 12 to fill up a BBQ propane tank

The differance between Auto refills and BBQ tank refills has something to do with the fact that road taxes aren't charged on propane for Auto use. Not quite sure how it works but it has a lot to do with taxes
Plus they make more when filling BBQ tanks....that part is a high markup situation
I have been filling my vehicle for ................. .459 cents a litre

sucks to have to use gasoline
