I love it rockintom! Are those two places on Florida Ave.?

 

 

Just one that I know of that at that price now. It's at 636 W Florida Ave Hemet, CA. The other place went back up to $1.99.

 

Are you here in Hemet?

Holy Crap......in Hemet, CA One place is at .93 and another at .89 a gallon. Good Lord, a propane gas war!!!! They both claim they are losing money.....

 

Oh my, this is like the good ol' days many of us remember with gas. Wonder how long this'll last. I've rounded up 5 extra tanks and have them filled!!!! Guess who's run the whole rig on propane!!!!

it's 3.69 a gallon in my area talk about getting gouged

Just check the dates to see how recent the prices are. Sometimes they are outdated.

 

Also, the truck stop websites have current prices available (Pilot/Flying-J, Loves, TA-Petro, etc).

 

And their loyalty cards (Frequent Fueler, RV Advantage) give you additional discounts on gas, diesel, propane, dump fees.

Looks like we better enjoy these prices while we can according to the Thrifty Propane website.

Without a doubt the lowest priced propane is at the SKP Co-Op in Casa Grande AZ (RoVers' Roost). The Co-Op has its own propane fill station and their price is 10-cents over wholesale. Propane is available to leaseholders and registered guests, so it pays to spend a night at RR.

I know you get tired of seeing me post here, but this AM I paid $0.53 a gallon for Ferrell gas here in Hemet, CA at the 76 Spirit Station. This evening it had gone back up to .69!!! When it gets this low the price changes about once an hour. Filled an empty 30 pounder for $4.00 with tax. Holy Mackerel.

 

Amazing!!! The cheapest I've paid at a SKP park is $1.10 a gallon. Not complaining don't ya know....

 

My best guess it is HD-10 since it is in CA. Don't know, but I've used it for about 6 winters and it works fine in the rig. Here's a bit on HD-10.

 

HD-10 Propane and Commercial Propane

 

HD10 propane is a grade below HD5 and is commonly found in California. HD10 grade propane allows up to 10% propylene in the propane/propylene mixture and is still labeled as "propane". Because propylene is used in creating plastics, HD10 can possibly create problems in some engines and vehicle applications. Propylene can cause engine components to "gum" or stick during operation. However, HD 10 spec propane works just fine in domestic and commercial propane powered appliances. The only problem that may be encountered in using HD-10 propane involves its use as an engine fuel (vehicles, forklifts, etc.). rockin'

I am in SJ now. The exchange tanks are sold with 16 or 17 pounds of propane at 19.95 and they charge sales tax. The advantage is the certified tank exchanged for my 11 year old bottle. At the dealer I get the full 20 pounds for $20, and no tax as propane is not taxed. Some camp grounds and u haul are the same or slightly more per pound. By the gallon, you will get less energy in hotter temperatures as propane quickly changes density by temperature.

Propane at Gateway Hardware in Inyokern, CA $2.99 gallon. Inyokern just outside of Ridgecrest with Highway 395 a short 1/4 mile from the Hardware Store.

 

If you are coming from Death Valley heading for 395 it's pretty quick to just cross over the highway overpass, fill up and hop back onto the highway. Large pulloff dirt lot just past store, also can pull around thru back so no need to back up if tanks permanent.

 

Sorry, tried to update on altfuel website but not working.

Two weeks ago, stopped at "World Famous" Camping World on Las Vegas Blvd. near South Point Casino in Sin City. We had lunch at South Point and I had the tank along so I got it filled. $3.29 a gallon with my Bad Sam discount, had to get a screwdriver out of MY toolbox, the pumper didn't have one, so he could bleed the tank. While the wife was waiting near the parts cash register she heard the other guy say "doesn't that guy know it is raining"? Going back out to the Boulder City Elks where we were parked several places along Boulder Highway had signs posted at $2.89 a gallon.

Yesterday we were at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. So I had to stop by the C-store there where they exchange 30 pounders, the only place in our travels I have ever seen a 30 pounder exchange. $37.99 exchange or $77.99 outright buy.

Yesterday, I paid $1.29 a gallon at Skagit Farm Supply in Burlington, WA Not bad. My all time low propane price was in Hemet, CA this winter for .58 a gallon. I think I filled 5 bottles (some 30, 20 and one 11 punders) for less than $15. What a thrill! I'd put propane in my truck and car if I could have!!! :D
