I have never met such a person with untrue and silly reasons to act stupid as the last poster.

The price of propane has barely changed over the last ten years. It is virually the same as it was when Obama took over as President.

There was a run up in 2014 in Feb for a few weeks - I had been filling a 30lb tank for $22, then when the fake shortage occurred, it was $45 for a 30lb tank for a little while.  Coincided with a heating issue in an RV I stay in from time to time - normally, would get about 4 to 5 days at 20 degrees F outside temps, but was using one tank a day for about a week.  It's back to $23 now.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

No question that propane is getting way to expensive. Kerosene is the same way -I have a kerosene heater for emergencies like when the power goes out in winter and it's getting too expensive to run. Kerosene is around $10.00 a gallon and it used to be real cheap a few years ago. Much of that increase is due to federal regulations and the EPA along with the Obama administration that is anti- oil, gas and coal. I have no propane grill but I do know a full tank of propane that is used on fork lifts weighs around 75 pounds.


Forklifts - the most common tank is a 33.5 lb tank and full weighs almost 60 lbs.  (On the forklifts I have driven the most...)


And no, the price has not run up under Obama - it has actually gone down just a little for any quantity more than the 20 lb grill tanks.  Just like gasoline costs so much more under Obama....oh, wait....what?
