I call to ask what is going on, then they lower the price about $1 per gallon but they are still almost $2 per gallon more than any of the competition, as in $3.90 (after giving me the improved price) vs. $2.10 from the other guy. Suburban's told me that they automatically keep the tank filled without me asking them to and that's where the extra cost comes in. I'm done paying $2 a gallon for THAT service. I use 1,500 gallons a year. I can do the math, that's $3,000 a year! Thank you Suburban! I'll tell them to stop auto-filling, then I'll switch to an honest propane supplier. Disgusting Suburban, you should be ashamed or bankrupt! Christopher, Same here, Suburban Propane overcharges me every time.

According to what I read as national average(s), this is twice that price. They pulled this on me in October 2009. When I complained, they compromised by offering me 1 year @ $2.80/gallon. I agreed, and initially had some billing issues, but after a few calls to billing, they honored the agreement. I had called a competitor, who sold propane at that time for about $2.60. I was tempted to switch from Suburban to that competitor. Now, it's back to $5.99 again. NOTE: I'm not shopping to save every last penny,....I don't mind if Suburban is a larger company with higher overhead, thus needs to charge a little more, but I'm not paying 100%+ more. You can bet I'll be calling around again! Just got my (leased) tank filled today. $5.99.gallon! from Suburban Propane. According to what I read as national average(s), this is twice that price.
