We've been aware for years that we were paying too much, but felt stuck with Suburban Propane because they were one of two companies who would come out Italian Bar Road, and they offered a budget payment plan which we needed at the time. We have two 500 gallon tanks that get filled up once a year, maybe topped off a second time. Suburban's price to fill our tanks this month would be $3.89 per gallon.
Proflame also delivers out Italian Bar, but told me they had already been out this year and won't be out again till next year. If they could come out, their price would be $2.62 per gallon.
We recently learned that Souza Propane, 800-834-2223, will also come out to Italian Bar. I spoke to them today, and their current price is $2.49 per gallon, with an introductory price of $1.94 for new customers. Since our tanks are rented from Suburban, they will replace the tanks with their own, and pump the remaining gas that we have already paid Suburban for into their tanks, and set the empty tanks to the side for Suburban to pick up.
Thought I'd share the info for anyone else who may feel like they're stuck paying high prices because of lack of competition in our neighborhood.
