Just called to see about getting some for my house and was told it is now $4.99/gallon. I just heard over the weekend there was some sort of national shortage. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is some ploy to drive up prices. The national level propane manufacturers didn't forget how to make propane all of a sudden. That's over $1,200 to fill up if you are near empty on a 250 gallon tank. Considering the majority of propane users are rural residents, and by in large not as affluent as those in cities on natural gas, this is going to hit a lot of people here in MS and elsewhere pretty damn hard.
