Like everything else your not paying for the product, your paying for the convenience. Think about it this way, for those of us that live in the 'country' finding somewhere to fill a propane tank isn't that hard to do. heck I know of at least three places within about 10-15 miles, round trip, of me. On the other hand if I lived in the city of Charlotte it would probably be closer to 30-40 miles round trip to get one filled.
The cost of gas alone for that trip would be nearly $6 and then wear and tear on the vehicle, plus the value of your time. Compare all of that to running a mile down to the closest grocery store, etc at 9:45 PM, just before closing time, when your bottle runs out and swapping it out, and being back home cooking in 15 minutes. Add on the fact that you don't have to worry about the age of the tank, what kind of valve it has in it, etc, etc, etc, and the 'extra' your paying actually makes some sense.
Personally I have a few tanks larger than the Blue Rhino tanks and actually plan ahead enough to keep my tanks full so for me it's just common sense and cheaper just get them filled. For those in a different situation, for them, what's common sense and cheaper for people like us is something totally different for them.
Not paying 'big bucks' for bottled water, and anything is big bucks in my opinion in this case, I simply can not understand.....As far as I know 99.999999% of the population has either a tap connected to the a municipal water source of to a well so pay more money to buy something that is already being provided to you at your home, and that that your already paying for?????????? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
