Propane Price Delivered

[Gus]

I can't seem to find a price online for propane delivered. A friend is thinking of buying a house with a large tank in Honokaa and the realter said propane was $4.50. That seems cheap for delivered propane. Is she close to right?

Try Hilo Propane. Probably have to call.

Thanks.They sent me to Hawaii Gas and it was $6.44 per gallon more or less, depending on a number of factors.

$6.44 per gallon

Paradise tax alert!
That is outrageous.

I've heard that the delivery charge is $1/gallon. Full retail (say, Orchidland) is $5.50. The "highway places" charge $4.

On the mainland it's more like $2.50.

What do you folks do? I just have one bbq tank for the water heater, one for the range, and some spares. Easy peasy and I swap out and refill every couple months.

Running the fancy version: two-way auto-flippy regulator, real galvanized plumbing, and a spare. Have the larger (10L) water heater.
