I titled this Propane Cheat, because this is exactly what I think it is.
Propane exchange bottles at Lowes and Home Depot are 20 lbs calendars filled with 18 lbs of propane. (to allow for expansion in heat). Seems last year when propane was gong through the roof, they started putting 15 lbs in them so they would not have to charge more. Now that propane has dropped in price they still put 15 lbs in them. I'll bet few people know this. Home Depot said 'We have had no complaints'. I don't remember seeing a big sign saying "Same price 3 lbs less!". They don't weight it, and you can't see inside. NO wonder no one complains. I wonder how many people went to Blue Rino and exchanged cylinders rather than 'payed more' for a fill up at a local station.
