Even when gas was $4+ per gallon, propane was still $8 for 20#. GO figure?

If you're getting propane in small 20# tanks for $2/gal then you're getting a pretty good price. Here it's more like $3.50/gal. You can only get sub $2 pricing if you buy 1,000 gallons for home heat (untaxed).
At any rate, it's not nearly as easy to find propane as it is to find gasoline. I'd hate to have to go get a propane bottle filled everyday while at a 4 day football tailgate. I'd be more than happy to spend an extra $1/day for the convenience.
