Price gouging at it's finest. AmeriGas, the real owner of this company has a nationwide reputation for it. Just google "AmeriGas Price Gouging" and see for yourself.
Until Fallsburg Gas, the company that AmeriGas masquerades as, presumably b/c of their well earned nationwide reputation, sold out to them {AG} a couple of years ago they were one fine company to do business with. I dare say they were the fairest and best gas supplier in all of Sullivan County. But no more. if you call them up to question their outrageously high price they give you the song and dance that they have 'overhead and drivers to pay' etc. Yet they can't explain how a company their size with a lot of buying power charges just over $5 per gallon by the time you add in their cockamaimee delivery charges while their competitor six miles away, CES Gas, located in Monticello who supplies my next door neighbor charges a little over $3 per gallon. It should be safe to presume CES Gas also has 'overhead and drivers to pay'.
Come spring time I am done with these ripoff artists. I'd have been done with them last fall, but they made a surprising delivery in October right before a scheduled vacation and mandatory work schedule Nov-April prevents being home to switch suppliers until that time. And NO, I don't trust them to give me an accurate $$$ count to buy back the fuel left in the tanks when they are called to come and get them. So I want the tanks to be as near empty as is safely possible without running out before the new supplier can begin service.
BTW, another poster already mentioned this but I too have experienced frivolous deliveries to top off my tanks so they can further gouge the previously mentioned cockamaimee delivery charges on an unneeded delivery of 70 gallons into a 240 gallon reservoir. This was done in autumn so they knew I didn't need a delivery for at least another month but they delivered anyway. Cha-ching in their pocket for just those cockamaimee delivey charges of about $17 which made the REAL price of that fuel increase by approximately 25 cents per gallon.
After driving into Alpin Haus RV Sales right off of I-84 Exit 1 Westbound in Port Jervis to have my RV serviced and discovering by accident they were selling propane gas to refill those small 20 lb cylinders you see on the front hitch of RVs for a lot less than I was getting charged by AmeriGas while presumably still making a profit, I will be going with their supplier; an outfit whose name begins with BO has two Ts in the middle and ends in an NI. They have red trucks with silver tanks and yellow/orange flames in their logo. After calling them to ascertain they deliver in my neighborhood and telling them how much fuel my home burns throughout the year they quoted a price that was a little bit more than half of what the Fallsburg depot of AmeriGas is charging.
One last thing - if it were possible I'd give these rip off artists negative stars.
