We live in Leonardtown MD.We buy our Propane from Suburban.
We have no choice. It's their tank. It came with the house. SUBURBAN rips its customers off.
$5.09 for a gallon of propane, plus delivery, plus tax, plus hazmat, plus tank leasing fees. A complete rip off! We are on a prorated monthly fee. Suburban lowered the fee and then sent us a bill for $2300 and re-adjusted our monthly payment to $734.
The company is run by idiots. When we called, they said they had made a mistake in the monthly payment so we have to pay the $2300 by August and then $734 a month. It's nice to know that we have to pay for the mistakes of a billion dollar company.
Why should they care? They are idiots.

I contacted Suburban Propane, Hollywood MD and asked them for a price to buy the (my) in ground propane tank, because I was tired of getting ripped off by up to $2 per gallon for liquid propane. A tank that was installed in 1996, 18 years ago. The cost $1200. A new tank is $1800. Just another rip-off by Suburban Propane. Not only do they price gouge you by up to $2 per gallon for propane, they price gouge you on purchasing the propane tank.
I got a price quote on liquid propane from another local company. If I own the tank, it's $3.10. If they own the tank, it's $3.30. That's as opposed to $5.09 per gallon from the ripoff company, Suburban
Suburban Propane is a complete ripoff. People should know that they have a choice and dump this company.
