What is the Price per Gallon of Propane in South Central Pennsylvania?
Irmo, South Carolina.Suburban Propane filled my tank with 216 gallons of propane on Oct. 10, 2012 and charged $3.99 per gallon plus delivery charges, etc. Highway robbery!
Competitive propane suppliers in same general area are quoting $1.99 per gallon with the price firm for one year. After making Suburban propane aware of the price difference they lowered the invoice to $1.99 per gallon. No good reason was offerred for the high initial price except that Suburban's regional manager comes through once per year and sets the prices. I would characterize this as price gouging at its worse. I would caution everyone that uses large volumes of propane, especially if they are on an automatic refill program, to get competitive quotes before purchasing.
