I know someone asks this all the time but, I guess it's my turn. Has everyones price doubled in the last 5 years? When I switched to the company I'm with I got liquid for $80 a fill, $10 delivery, and $300/yr lease. Now a fill is $171, del. went up $5 or 10 not sure, and lease about the same. Im in North Carolina if that helps any.

ur lease price is pretty good. Wish I could get that rate. But yeah I have heard other people say their prices doubled in a period of a year. I'd start calling around 170 is a lot of dough. we are paying 85 for a fill but our rent is 400 dollars more a year then yours.

160 a fill and 40 bux a month for the tank rental. The price has gone up alot in the last few years, but so has the price of gas that they are using to deliver the tanks. Oh and lets not forget insurance is WAY up too. So the companys are just passing the rising costs of doing business to the customers as they have to.

What ever your costs for gas are, they're all relative... You're paying $170 for a dewar?!?! you think thats expensive?!?? I'd LOVE to pay that little, and you can pay the $530 per fill that I do....

$530 might seem a lot to you, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper then paying for K tanks and dealing with the hassle too... So when you guys want to bitch about what you pay to work, just think to yourself "at least I don't pay what Ben pays for O2." and maybe that'll ease your mind a little...

The cost of everything has gone up in the past year. Gas, insurance, life in general. It's the poor economy of our country that's doing it...


Just my 2 cents.
