1 year ago this would have not even been on our radar. Now with us looking at rural areas, it's one of the top questions we ask. Right after, last time septic was pumped, well GPM and contract for propane or do they own the tank. Who'd a thunk it

I'd never though about the propane question, does it make a big deal one way or the other or is it just paying the lease on the tank that's the issue?
Maybe we could us a new thread that covers all of these issues "Advice for moving out of the city". :) There's a ton of good advice that is spread out between about 10 different threads.
usually, if you don't own your own propane tank, you are stuck getting propane from whom ever it is that the tank is leased from, and that doesn't allow you to price shop and yes, it pays to price shop on propane. For instance, Amerigas is and always has been the highest priced propane around, at least out here.
I just filled up last week for $.99/gal. which is the cheapest I've seen in a long time. Also, it always pays to fill the tank late summer before the prices begin going up as cold weather moves in.
