The current price in my area is $6.02/gal. I have a 250 gallon tank. That’s about $1200 to refill every 3-4 weeks. Who the fuck can afford that? Thankfully in my case, I have mini-split heat pumps, but it’s not like electricity is getting any cheaper either. Trump is really fucking everyone in the U.S.
