I've been getting my propane from what used to be a local company. I rented the tank from them for something like $100/year. When I started they were the only company that offered residential delivery.
I purchased a 120 gallon tank from a neighbor when I learned another gas company was doing residential delivery and they're about a buck a gallon cheaper. I called the old company to terminate my service and when he asked why I told him. It turns out they can match the price and they'd like to keep me on. Funny they didn't lower the price earlier, seeing I'm such a "valuable customer". He informed me that I'll be billed $458.00 to remove the rental tank. I told him I'll be HAPPY to pay. (Their yard is about eight miles away, so that cost is COMPLETELY understandable!)
