Electric heat would cost me 2x as much per month.
in Iowa, apparently?
I don`t think I`ve ever bought propane at that price here in northern NV, certainly not in the 3 years that I`ve been tracking my gas purchases. As it happens, my tank did get filled in Mar of this year... at $3.54/Gal. Last month it was the highest I`ve ever been hit with at $4.05

What are other people paying around the globe for LP?
