That's similar pricing to what we pay for delivery to the 320 gallon bulk tank at our cottage through our fuel buying co-op membership. The vendor won't fill portable DOT cylinders on site, but they do fill our coach tank when we're there.

I don?t know ?if? it is legal in your local....but if so, consider a ?thief valve/hose and fill at home! Until recently, we haven?t had to fill anywhere fo many years! Far cheaper ( most of the time) than filling while on the road!

I noted yesterday at a local Amerigas tank exchange location that it now clearly states you get 15 lbs of propane for $19.99. At 4.2 lbs/gallon, that's $5.60/gallon. A fairly steep price for the convenience of exchange rather than waiting on a refill. It usually takes me 20 minutes to get a tank filled at the nearby hardware store, a portion of which is actually paying the fee (same as I would have to do at the exchange store)..

Propane price at Flying J / Pilot anywhere in the USA and Canada:

They aren't the absolute cheapest. But they are all over, I'm probably already stopping there, and I can look at the price online first to be sure it's not a high price area and I should wait until a different stop.

I think it's clear by now that knowing a "national average" for LP would be as useless as knowing the national average for gasoline. Neither one is an indicator of what the going prices are where you are...

Today it was $15 to fill a 20-lb tank at my local hardware store in central NH.

I think you?re right. And will the price of either alter our plans? Probably not mine. When gas was $.23 gallon and Budweiser was $.89 six pack I made $.65 an hour. Now gas is $2.85 gal (in Dover, DE) and I don?t drink Bud, I drink Gennesee Cream Ale which is about $2.00 a six pack and I make a butt load more than $.65 an hour. The point I?m trying to make is is if you want to use propane and you want to travel the price of the product will most likely not sway your wants. Although, there will be a point on a graph where price will alter plans.
