I understand the cost and quantity difference between tank exchanges and refills and if I determine that the convenience of swapping out a tank right now versus driving around for two hours looking for a place that will refill my tank when I'd prefer to spend those two hours enjoying my vacation, personally, I'm glad to pay a little bit for that convenience. And I'll guarantee I can think of real world scenarios where I can swap a tank here, or I can drive 15 miles one way to have my tank refilled. Where is the stewardship of the Creator's resources if I spend $15 or more in gasoline and wear and tear on my vehicle to save $5 or $6 on propane?
"Convenience stores" wouldn't exist if the only proper moral choice was to always pay the lowest possible price for a quart of milk. Everyone would take an extra 45 minutes to 3 hours to drive to the best supermarket or warehouse store in the state to buy their milk there.
Again, I'm just saying there's more than one way to look at this.
