Owning one’s tank is a big advantage.
Also, consider buying a propane contracts before the season. In 8 years, I have come out ahead 7 of the years.
Now that is interesting, something I just asked my husband about. I don’t think either one of us thought about it before.
We have two tanks about 100 gallons (he says, I say 150), our rental is $50 a year for both of them.
I guess I should check and see about the cost of buying.
Our gas prices have been pretty steady the last five years but we have five gas companies in the valley, so lots of competition.
The people who we buy gas from are fantastic, their customer service is top notch. I would stay with them even if I paid a few cents more because of that.
If you have info on tanks for sale (or in general what to look for), forward them on over.
This property is in Riverside County, CA, high desert (4000 ft).
Thanks, I will drink more coffee and ponder on this.
