Summer-fill is when you get your tank filled during the summer for gas you will use during the winter. Pre-pay is when you pay for gas you project you will use during the winter at a discounted rate (rather than waiting until mid-winter to buy at high winter prices) but it is not put into your tank until winter-time, when you are low.
This year, we didn't do any pre-buying because we think with our new hot water heater, we won't need more than a summer fill. Hope we are right! I would hate to pay at winter prices! However, a pre-buy has a 300 gallon minimum here and we don't think we will need it.
Happy Saving!
We just bought propane and paid $1.29 gallon here... sure wished we could have gotten the low price you did, but still, it is a lot cheaper to buy now, than in the winter! Great tip!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, $1.29 is still pretty good!
