Ditch AmeriGas and go local. Last winter I was on Rymes with similar highway robbery prices. I was beside myself. I just checked my last fill-up with Gillespie on the 14th: $1.66 a gallon. Some of that is I purchased my own tank last summer when I switched so I get an owned-tank discount which is not insignificant. It's about 5 grand (depending on the tank size and the cost of burying if you are like me and want it out of sight) to do that, my calculated payoff with my propane usage was only a few years, and they last 30-50 before they need replacing.
