West Union, Illinois | ihmanky - ...Here, if you lease a tank from Suburban Propane, they're always between .75 and $1 higher per gallon than the other two local places. Absolute highway robbery. There's exceptions to every rule. And I'm in a totally different market. The main suppliers here are a couple locally owned companies, a couple FS companies (I'm 3 miles from the county line / border between 2 different FS companies), and a national. A couple other nationals have ran themselves out of this area by doing things like you mentioned. One is very competitive out of season. In season it makes up for the sales promos.

Full disclosure: I've worked for a locally owned LP company full time / part time / seasonally / on demand since 1992. I'm now the "Oh Crap" driver. When things get really busy they go "Oh Crap! Call Mike". |
