Last fill for my car was .75/liter. So in US, 1.95/gallon. I was referring to liquified gas home propane. But just for discussion, our car gas (non premium) around here is approx $2.90 per US gallon.

Just paid $2.70 a gallon yesterday for 380 gallons. I switched from Amerigas (can't say enough bad about them!) last summer to a local supplier. My last fill up with Amerigas was $1.80 a gallon more!

I'm about 35 miles southwest of St.Louis just off I-44. We've got two 500 gallon tanks, one for the garage and one for the house
We filled both of them in early January and it was $2.36 a gallon.
Around STL the propane company you use had a major effect on the price per gallon. We use MFA propane (aka MFA Oil).
The one neighbor used Ferrell Gas and she always paid almost a dollar more per gallon for it.
Unless you own the tank you're locked in with the company that owns the tank, but most will supply the tank free if you switch to them.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

I locked in at June 2022 for the year at $2.50 per gallon , 500 gallon tank Highest it’s been in many many years based on saved receipts
Yes it’s been a warm winter in WI
Just north of Green Bay WI
Have no idea what the contract price will be for June 2023 I should call and ask I guess , at about 35% full on the tank
I have had propane in this sub division since the year 2000 when the home was built
We now have Natural Gas in our sub division as around five years ago or more WPS
I don’t know if it’s worth switching over or not based on monthly pricing average - First 100 feet is free install , line is on the opposite side of road Then switching over forced air furnace and water heater to natural gas

A lot of USA propane has been shipped to Europe, Germany in particular, to heat treat industrial metals there.
My brothers have professional knowledge of this.
Even with the USA diverted propane, German factories output of high precision metal products is way down, which is affecting the whole world. well that was always the idea , to ship out lng... otherwise why would they have built all the export facilities???

Cry me a river. We paid $4.70 a gallon for home heating oil this past November and it's still over $4.00 a gallon now. Then add in a 160-year-old not so well insulated old farmhouse with a few rooms without central heat and I'll take $2.00 a gallon propane all day long. Just venting and letting off steam and some heat 1) Most prices in this thread are significantly more than $2.00 gallon. 2) Home heating oil has 138,000 btu, Propane has 91,000. The difference is nowhere near what you imply.

All this nonsence will be over once Poutine has 2-3 more holes to breath or leak from. His successor (probably a thristy Oligarque) will do the peace. Then, Russia will flod the market with oil/Natural gas and LPG. War cost money, and not a lot is coming in right now in Russia. they are probably selling close to pre-war crude... who's buying??? all our 'friends'..... china,india, ... and some others... the indians are buying up old tankers like its xmas.... china already has the tankers - turn off the transponders , and u are sailing in the 'dark'....

China wanted to punish Australia for publicly demanding truth about the origin of an infectious disease. China’s effort backfired. Australia simply found other ready buyers for the coal. China found out that other coal suppliers demanded more money for inferior coal.
and yesterday china lifted the ban on aussie coal....

I'm looking at a 2800 sf home about 70 miles from me - it was built in 2002. It's listed as forced air heat & LP. So here in MI, if I have a 500 gallon tank, how long will that last in the winter? We typically have to start heating in October. Coldest months are Jan. & Feb. I am used to heating with natural gas, so I have no idea how many gallons we use - different unit of measure. This winter, we had a couple heating bills of $380.00 per month.

Large cargos of propane are leaving the USA for Germany, where it is being used by industry, particularly for metal heat treating.
German industry used to use Russian natural gas.
Germany/Holland is floating into place LNG re-gasification ships at harbors, and building on shore re-gasification plants.
At the same time Holland has closed down a HUGE natural gas field within their borders that still can flow HUGE volumes, because less than 100 families that farm the land above it complain about ground settlement. This at the same time Holland government wants to prohibit other farmers from raising cattle, pigs, chickens because of NOx gas emissions from manure. when the poop hit the fan and the russians invaded,most europeans stopped importing from russia- but most had some storage facilities .... germany had zero.... all they had was the pipelines... very poor planning on their part.. luckily there seems to be enough regas ships, so they should be ok - and they r importing gas from lots of places, not just the u.s.

My buddy gets bent over hard since he has to pay about $5 per gallon. That is at least double the market rate but he is at the mercy of the local vendor who is the only game around. Mine is very high too. $4 something on the last fill

Just reviewed mine for the last 12 months. My house is 5200 sq ft and is all propane. Hot water. cooking and heat. We are paying on average $3.99 a gallon over that period. We have a 250 gallon tank. My Ohio house is larger at 6200 sq ft. It has a 1000 gallon buried tank and we locked in during June. $1.19 per gallon. Like everything else out here in the west we get bent over...
