I had the rig into the Cummins place near Raleigh, NC for service today. I wasn't terribly low on propane, but asked them how much for theirs. 99 cents! Alot better than the $3.50 at the RV park! Not sure I would have gotten the same deal if I had not gotten service there, but just shows it doesn't hurt to ask! I only wish I needed more!

    That's about 3.5 times cheaper which is interesting considering propane is 4.24 lbs per gallon.
    Was the 99 cents price measured in gallons or pounds?

    Was that .99 cent plus the $125.00 hour labor charge for filling the tank?

    Yep, got some 99 cent stuff in MT just last month. Works better than the 3.50 stuff

    That is a great price! I also have to ask the question was that $.99 per gal. or pound cause it's less than the U-Haul my friend runs pays for it.

    Dang! Now I'm jealous.
    Load up while you can and enjoy. I'm about to fill two tanks (about 180lbs or 42 gallons) at four times that price per gallon.

    If you tell me you can get 99 cent/gallons gas, I'll move this afternoon.

    I paid 2.79 in Flint, no delivery charge, Parker's Propane

    Beats 4.00 at U-Haul, and that beats the 25 bucks just to fill the tank here at the CG

    Please provide me the name/address of the Cummins place in Raleigh. I live right next door (Cary, NC) and need propane.
