Like many of you I try to be a good steward of the resources my Creator has provided me.  One way is by selecting where you purchase your propane.  The tare weight (T.W.) of a 20 lb cylinder is right around 17 lbs; this you will see stamped near the top of the cylinder.  So a fully loaded tank with 20 lb. propane will weigh 37 pounds.  At my local hardware store you pay for what you get; a fully empty cylinder costs me $ 16.50 to fill to get 20 lbs. of propane which is 4.2 gallons.  If I only want to top off my tank, say it's half full, I only pay $ 8.25.  By going down the road to the gas station I can get a Blue Rhino exchange for 22.95 and for that I get 15 lbs. of propane which is 3.6 gallons.

So here is the breakdown.    Hardware store   $ 3.93/gallon      4.2 gal. or 20 lbs = $ 16.50
                                              Blue Rhino           $ 6.375/gallon    3.6 gal. or 15 lbs = $ 22.95

One small way to save money.
